Fabio Vieira has been tipped to explode at Arsenal within the next 18 months.
The Portuguese creative player arrived in North London from Porto in a £34 million deal this past summer.
It took a little while for Vieira to even make his senior debut at Arsenal following an injury during their pre-season campaign.
However, he has impressed in recent months and just before the World Cup break, dazzled as Mikel Arteta’s side won 2-0 away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
And Kevin Campbell believes that the versatile attacker could be Arsenal’s answer to Bernardo Silva, claiming he can be like ‘dynamite’ for the Gunners in the long term.
He told The Highbury Squad: “Once he gets his Premier League legs, he’s going to be dynamite. I think he’s going to be outstanding. You can play him anywhere up there. He will hurt teams just like Bernardo Silva can. He will be a really good player [in] 18 months. He’ll be good.”
Still only 22, Vieira clearly has a very bright future.
It’s testament to how good Arsenal have been this season, that they haven’t even needed one of their biggest summer investments all that much just yet.
Going forward though, the Portuguese magician will be a major player for Arteta and future managers and it’ll be fascinating to see how he performs during the second half of the campaign.
