Arsenal have completed the signing of Fabio Vieira from Porto.

The attacking midfielder has signed a long-term contract at the Emirates, and has cost the Premier League club 35-million euro. 

Vieira provided 16 assists and scored 7 times in his 39 games for Porto last season. 

The 22-year-old says he's joining a club with real pedigree.

"Arsenal is a historic English club. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world," he said.

"Everyone knows that Arsenal are a fantastic team. That was one of the main factors behind me choosing Arsenal. 

"I really like the way the team plays and I can’t wait to get started."
