Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has admitted that “tremendous” Fabio Vieira is starting to cause him “ headaches ” as he attempts to give him more game time in north London.
The Portuguese playmaker signed for the Gunners last summer in a £34m move from Porto as Arteta attempted to bolster his midfield options. The 22-year-old has seen his game time limited since then though.
Of the 23 appearances he has made for the current Premier League leaders, just 10 have been starts, whilst Vieira was last named in the starting XI for a league match back in November in a 2-0 victory over Wolves.
