Arsenal set asking price to offload Fabio Vieira

Arsenal have reportedly set their asking price to offload midfielder Fabio Vieira this summer.

The Gunners signed the Portuguese from Porto three years ago, but he has not managed to cement a regular spot in the starting XI.

He spent the previous campaign on loan with Porto and reports claim that the Gunners are now prepared to sanction his permanent exit.

Stuttgart have already made an opening bid for the midfielder, but as things stand, they are €10m short of the Gunners' asking price.

The Bundesliga outfit have proposed to pay €20m for the striker, but the Gunners want at least €30m to part ways with Vieira.

The 25-year-old has been a fringe player for the London giants, but the hierarchy believe the Portuguese still has untapped potential.

It remains to be seen whether Stuttgart return for Vieira. A middle ground could be reached for the midfielder's exit from Arsenal.

West Ham United have also been linked with the playmaker.
