The versatile attacking midfielder has a release clause of £42million.

But Porto are accepting an initial offer of £30m plus add-ons.

And Vieira is now expected to become a Gunner as Mikel Arteta aims for a top four finish next term.

Vieira has spent his entire career at Porto, scoring 10 goals in 75 outings.

The left-footer can play as either a No10 or a right winger.

And he will give Arteta more options in the final third alongside the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

Vieira was previously linked with Manchester United and Tottenham.

But after dreaming of playing in the Premier League, he has now accepted Arsenal’s offer.

Vieira could soon be joined at the Emirates by Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal are understood to be offering a £50m bid for the Brazilian striker.

And Manchester City are likely to accept after the ace entered the final year of his contract.
