Arsenal are set to allow another player to leave the club this summer as Mikel Arteta continues his squad rebuild, according to a new report.
The Gunners have allowed several squad players to depart the Emirates Stadium since the end of last season, including midfielders Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny.Defender Riccardo Calafiori has also signed from Bologna, while the Gunners are closing in on a deal to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino.
It is claimed that Vieira is desiring more game time as a result of Merino's impending arrival and the promotion of youngster Ethan Nwaneri, who is expected to feature more prominently in the senior squad this season. One wrote: "Great news that. Means more minutes for Nwaneri and I'm 100 per cent certain we'll sign a winger."A second said: " clearly not viewed as a long-term option with the amount of minutes he's been given during his time here. Positive about it is now a clearer pathway for Nwaneri. Increased optimism for a winger signing now."
A fourth wrote: "Fabio Vieira leaving must definitely mean a winger or striker would be one of the signings before the end of the window."
