Stuttgart make Fabio Vieira transfer decision

Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart are unlikely to sign Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira at the current point in time, according to Sky Sport Germany.

Stuttgart are aiming to bolster their attack further before the transfer deadline, and Vieira has emerged as one of the top targets for the club.

They are prepared to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy for £17m, but the Gunners want at least £25m to part ways with the 25-year-old.

There has been no compensation on the final price tag and Stuttgart are now prepared to walk away from negotiations with the London giants.

Vieira could yet leave the Gunners for a new challenge. Parma are among the player's admirers while West Ham United are keeping tabs as well.

The Hammers are languishing at the bottom of the league standings, and could benefit from having Vieira's creativity in the centre of the park.

Vieira could also be keen on proving his credentials in England.
