[Thread] Fábio Vieira, Arsenal's new playmaker.🧩

In this thread I'll be introducing fans to Fábio and showcasing what he can bring to Arsenal.🔴⚪️

As always, please share and leave a like on the tweets if you like them. Also let me know your thoughts on Vieira. #FabioVieira

Fábio Vieira is a 22-year-old Portuguese midfielder who plays for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Porto. The left-footed playmaker has contributed 7 goals and 16 assists in 39 appearances this season. He averages 0.9 assists per 90 mins this season.🔥 #FabioVieira #Porto

Fabio is a product of Porto's famous youth academy. He made his first team debut for Porto on the 6th of October in 2020. That season he made 8 appearances for the first team, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. 🇵🇹 #FabioVieira

In his first 2 seasons Porto liked to use him on the wing, especially at RW. In the 21/22 season he showcased what he can do in a moral central position as he was usually deployed in the attacking midfielder position.🎯#FabioVieira

Fabio is extremely versatile as he's played AM, RW, LW, CM and even LB for Porto last season. His versatility comes with the help of his weak foot(right), which he is very comfortable with using.🔥 #FabioVieira

Arsenal have agreed a deal with Porto in the region of €35m + add ons. He is set to sign a contract until 2027. Let's take a look at what he can bring to the Gunners... #FabioVieira #Porto #Arsenal

As a playmaker Fabio has contributed 14 league assists in just 1329 minutes this season, that counts as an assist every 94 minutes. Let's look at a few of his assists below.🧩#FabioVieira

Fabio averages 2.3 key passes per 90 minutes this season, causing trouble for defenders with his vision and precise passing. He has a solid 83% pass completion this season and likes to distribute long balls aswell, averaging 1.8 successful long ball passes per game. #FabioVieira

Fábio Vieira is not just a great passer, but a lethal finisher aswell. He's very comfortable with shooting from distance with either feet and has a great combination of power and precision.⚽️#FabioVieira

Fabio is set piece specialist and will always be a goal threat from dead ball situations.🎯#FabioVieira

But one of his best attributes is his dribbling and control of the ball. He uses quick movements to beat his opponents and he makes it look effortless. 🪄#FabioVieira

As I've added before Fabio is very versatile and has played a number of positions for Porto last season. That could be proven useful for Arteta and Arsenal as they're building a very flexible attacking team. ♻️#FabioVieira

As we already know he has been a star for Porto last season and a bright new light in the Portuguese First Division. He topped the assists charts with 14 assists. #FabioVieira #Porto

But how does he compare to some of the other midfielders? In the last season Fabio Vieira had a better G+A per 90 minutes(1.15) ratio than Mason Mount(0.76), James Maddison(0.73), Christopher Nkunku(1.06), Florian Wirtz(0.83) and even Kevin De Bruyne(0.94).🔥 #FabioVieira

It's unknown what position he will play at for Arsenal or how quickly he can adapt to English football, but one thing is for sure: Arsenal are signing a real gem and a potential new superstar that will come from Portugal. Time will tell...⌛️🪄⚽️
