Arsenal’s newest player Fabio Vieira claims he shares the traits of seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi. He is already looking forward to following in the footsteps of his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo after his return to the Premier League. Arsenal, who did not hesitate to pay more than 30 million euros in June, made the 22-year-old their star.
Fabio Vieira arrived at Arsenal after a season in which he scored six goals and made 11 assists in Porto. Lusitano already believes he can demonstrate a range of football skills, somewhat similar to Messi’s. At least that’s what he told The Athletic.
“I love Ronaldo and Messi. I love Messi because of his playing style, it’s like my playing style – left-handed, Leo has some of the same qualities. And Ronaldo, not because he’s Portuguese, but because of his hard work and mentality. It’s unbelievable. And he scored so many goals. They Great players. It’s the best tournament in the world. England has always been very attractive to me. Great Portuguese players played here: Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Moutinho, Joao Cancelo. I want to follow them. I always dreamed of playing in Porto when I was young. But my real dream was to play in the Premier League.” said the athlete.
