HSV favourite no longer wanted: Arsenal fans turn on Vieira! | OneFootball

Fabio Vieira and Arsenal probably won’t find their way back to each other in this lifetime. While HSV continue to push for the return of their former loanee, the Portuguese midfielder is causing frustration among many Gunners fans.

After the recent friendly against Como 1907 (1-1), criticism from Arsenal supporters of Vieira gathered significant momentum once again. The 26-year-old has so far completed the entire pre-season with the Gunners and is featuring regularly. However, Vieira does not have any real prospect in north London. His contract only runs until 2027, so Arsenal are looking to secure a transfer fee this summer. Ideally, the English club are hoping for a buyer with deeper pockets than HSV.

The problem: no club willing to pay the reported fee of around €18 million has emerged so far. At the same time, Vieira is doing little to help his own case at the moment. In the friendly against Como on Wednesday evening, the left-footer failed to convert a major chance, once again drawing the fans’ frustration.

HSV target comes under heavy criticism

The criticism has now become especially clear on social media. One Arsenal fan wrote on X: “Even if it’s only 100,000 - please sell this guy. I never want to see him again.” Another user commented after the Como match: “After today, it won’t be easy to sell him.”

Another post that received a particularly high level of approval focused on what the fan saw as the playmaker’s unusually high amount of game time: “Fabio Vieira is getting a worryingly high amount of playing time in pre-season.” This post collected around 1,900 likes.

Reactions like these clearly show that the relationship between Vieira and Arsenal is hardly repairable anymore. It is all but certain that the gifted technician will not play another competitive match for the English champions. The only question is which club he will play for in the future. Will it be HSV? And if so, when will Vieira arrive at the Volkspark? The coming weeks promise excitement in any case.
