Arsenal are nearing an agreement with Porto to sign young midfielder Fabio Vieira. This has gotten the rising star trending lately.

Is Fabio Vieira related to Patrick Vieira?

After finishing just two points behind local rivals Tottenham Hotspur last season, the Gunners are eager to bolster Mikel Arteta’s young squad and end their six-year UEFA Champions League hiatus.

In recent weeks, a move for Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans appeared to be on the cards. The north Londoners are interested in the Belgian international, according to reliable sources.

Arsenal has been interested in the Portugal under-21 international for some time and has now agreed to a $42 million dollars deal.

The Portuguese international is unrelated to Patrick Vieira in any way, but their surnames have sparked speculation about whether the two footballers are related.

However, it is quite a coincidence, that Patrick Vieira, who is a Frenchman played as a midfielder at Arsenal in his youth full stage. He is currently the head coach of Crystal Palace.
