Nottingham Forest targets Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira for permanent transfer

Nottingham Forest have entered the race to sign Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira on a permanent deal this summer. The Portuguese playmaker, who impressed during a loan spell with Hamburg in the Bundesliga, is being pursued after Arsenal indicated a willingness to offload loaned‑out players.

Arsenal, fresh from a Premier League title and a Champions League final appearance, are expected to sell several squad members to balance the books and fund new signings. Vieira, who struggled for minutes at the Emirates, could move to Forest as part of that restructuring, while Hamburg had also shown interest in retaining him.
