Arsenal tipped to sign ‘really good player’ Youri Tielemans after Fabio Vieira as Darren Bent predicts more business

Arsenal have been tipped to sign ‘really good player’ Youri Tielemans after completing a £34m deal for Fabio Vieira, with former England striker Darren Bent expecting further business at the Emirates this summer.

Mikel Arteta spent around £150m on the likes of Ben White, Aaron Ramsdale and Martin Odegaard last summer, but the Spanish manager wants to oversee another spending spree to get Arsenal closer to Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

The Gunners have already added American goalkeeper Matt Turner and Brazilian forward Marquinhos to Arteta’s squad, while they are set to confirm a £34m deal for Portuguese midfielder Vieira.

Vieira completed his medical in north London on Friday and Porto have confirmed they have agreed to sell the 22-year-old to Arsenal.

Arteta was especially keen to sign a new midfielder after watching his side struggle following Thomas Partey’s injury setback towards the end of last season.

Arsenal have also been linked with moves for Leicester City star Tielemans and Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse, with former Premier League striker Bent expecting Arteta to sign another midfielder despite Vieira’s arrival.

Asked whether Vieira’s move will prevent Arsenal from signing £25m-rated Foxes star Tielemans, Bent told talkSPORT: ‘No, I am hoping there is still an opportunity for Tielemans to come in as well.

‘He’s a good player. A really good player. You can’t just have one player for every position.

‘Arsenal are in Europe again, so I am sure there is more money to spend. Partey doesn’t stay fit, so we need as many good players as we can.’

Incoming Arsenal signing Vieira is somewhat of an unknown quantity. His name will not be familiar to many fans in England, although he did enjoy a breakthrough season
