Ray Parlour has told TalkSPORT that Arsenal fans should be excited about the prospect of seeing more of Fabio Vieira.
The new Arsenal signing played against Bodo Glimt last night and produced a fine display to underline his credentials as a great new signing for the Gunners.
Of course, Vieira faces a tougher task in forcing himself into the Premier League starting XI. Other players are starring and with Arsenal top of the table ahead of facing Liverpool this weekend, Mikel Arteta won’t be altering too much.
However, Parlour spoke positively about Vieira and revealed how a Porto fan had told him just how good the midfielder can be.
“Vieira looked good. I saw him in pre-season and he had an injury and he’s started getting back. He’s technically gifted,” Parlour said on TalkSport.
“I met a guy in Portugal and he was a big Porto fan. He says you’ve got some player there in Vieira. He’s probably just as good as Luis Diaz, if not better.”
