**West Ham United have no interest in signing Arsenal’s Fabio Vieira, according to ExWHUEmployee.**
The Hammers have been heavily linked with a move for Arsenal and former Portugual U21 midfielder Fabio Vieira. After a good season on loan at Hamburg in the Bundesliga his stocks have risen and the Gunners are looking to cash in.
Vieira wants to make his switch to Hamburg permanent, and they want him too. However, for whatever reason the deal hasn’t happened yet. Arsenal are reportedly asking for €18 million which could be putting them off, but everything else is already said to be agreed.
So, naturally as a Portuguese midfielder that’s represented by Jorge Mendes was linked to the club Nuno Espirito Santo is at, in this case West Ham United.
And it seems like that’s all it was which is good news for the Hammers. I don’t think Vieira is a bad player at all, he’s got a lot of talent, but I don’t think he has the physical profile we need at the club right now, especially in the Championship. We need someone with the pace to make a difference to our slow team, and the right physicality for the Championship.
Unfortunately, Fabio Vieria doesn’t have either of these. However, I wouldn’t completely rule out a move, if we get desperate and he’s yet to leave Arsenal towards the end of the window, with him being a Mendes client, it could happen.
