In a statement on their website on Tuesday, Arsenal announced that Vieira has joined the club on a “long term contract”.
“I am very excited that we have identified and signed such a special talent,” Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said, reacting to the signing of Vieira.
“Fabio is a very creative player that will bring high quality and versatility to our attacking play. We welcome Fabio and his family to our club and are looking forward to starting work with him ahead of the new season,” the statement added.
