Hamburger SVReturns to Arsenal
Vieira has returned to Arsenal following the conclusion of his loan spell at Hamburger, where the Portuguese midfielder enjoyed his most productive season in years.
Analysis: Vieira scored seven goals and provided five assists across 29 Bundesliga appearances in 2,215 minutes, finishing as Hamburger's top scorer and establishing himself as one of the most creative and consistent attacking midfielders in the division. The attacking midfielder will now return to Arsenal to determine his future with the club, with his outstanding campaign in Germany the strongest case he has made for earning a regular role under manager Mikel Arteta after two consecutive loan spells away from the Emirates.
Scores in season finale
Fabio Vieira scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bayer Leverkusen.
Analysis: Vieira established himself as a solid presence in Hamburger's midfield, getting his second goal in the last three matches to give him seven on the season. He'll try to build on this campaign next season, but it remains to be seen if that will be in the Bundesliga or elsewhere as he was on loan from Arsenal.
Scores Saturday
Fabio Vieira scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Fabio Vieira scored during Saturday's win, as well as taking four shots and four corners. His role on set-pieces and from open play give him a nice floor, and his finishing ability was a boon. Fabio Vieira will continue to play a big role in the heart of the midfield, as one of the more attacking midfielders in the midfield four.
