Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that new signing Fabio Vieira, along with Emile Smith Rowe and Cedric Soares, are all in contention to feature this weekend. The Gunners travel to the south coast to take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday, August 20. Smith Rowe, Soares and Vieira all started for Arsenal's U-21 side for their game against Swansea U-21 on Wednesday, August 17. The young Gunners side secured a 2-1 win, with Soares getting on the scoresheet. Both Smith Rowe and Vieira were replaced at the break to keep them fresh for the weekend's Premier League game against Bournemouth. Arteta was impressed by the trio's performance against Swansea U-21 and has declared them fit to feature on Saturday. Speaking to the press ahead of their game against Bournemouth, Arteta said the following (via Football London): "Everybody’s OK. As you saw, we had Cedric, Fabio and Emile playing with the u21s. They played with us and are available for selection." Arteta believes Smith Rowe and Vieira's combination on the right side of the attack could be fruitful for the Gunners going forward this season: "With Fabio, his versatility is something that caught our eye and we believe he’s going to give us a lot of options. That relationship with Emile on that side can be very powerful." Arsenal have signed Vieira from Portuguese giants FC Potro for a fee of around £34 million. The 22-year-old midfielder is a long-term signing, having penned a five-year contract with the Gunners. Doc@karthikadhaigal"His versatility is something which caught our eye.
