Scouting Report & Player Insights
Fábio Vieira is a diminutive Portuguese attacking midfielder known for his close control, first touch, and vision in tight central areas, traits that made him a standout at Porto before his 2022 move to Arsenal. Injuries and squad depth limited his impact in England, and after a loan spell back at Porto he has now joined Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, likely as a creative outlet in the final third despite being listed here in a more advanced role. His game is built on technique and passing range rather than physicality or pace, so his effectiveness will hinge on finding consistent minutes and a settled system in Germany.
Came through the Porto academy and was named Primeira Liga Young Player of the Year before his move to Arsenal.
Signed for Arsenal from Porto in the summer of 2022.
Spent time on loan back at Porto during his Arsenal spell before later moving on.
