In defence and midfield, we brought in Vu\u0161kovi\u0107 and Vieira, two players we could only sign on loan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also had candidates in both positions whom we could have signed permanently despite the considerable transfer fees. However, I think we didn\u2019t make any completely wrong decisions with Vu\u0161kovi\u0107 and Vieira.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, Claus and his team didn\u2019t even exhaust their budget, not even in the winter transfer window, and yet they still built a squad that is more than competitive given the available market conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper immediately asked whether the Arsenal owned player can extend his stay, Responding to that, Huwer explained: \u201cThe situation is relatively relaxed. F\u00e1bio feels very comfortable in Hamburg, and I don\u2019t get the impression that Arsenal is basing its long-term plans on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cF\u00e1bio knows exactly what he has in Hamburg and at HSV. The fundamental question now is what the player wants. And if he wants to stay, then we\u2019ll sit down with the Arsenal management and discuss possible solutions, similar to what we did with Sambi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen we\u2019ll see if a transfer is possible. We\u2019re ready to experience special moments with F\u00e1bio in the long term. Whether that works out and at what price, we\u2019ll see in the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For <em><strong>ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em>the decision will likely hinge on the club\u2019s summer business and Vieira\u2019s place in Mikel Arteta\u2019s plans ahead of a demanding 2024\u201325 campaign. While the midfielder has shown flashes of quality in England, he has found it difficult to adjust to life in England.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>MORE ARSENAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \u2013 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Latest: <strong>\u2018I Really Like Arsenal\u2019: Brazilian International unashamedly opens door to Emirates move!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most Read:\u00a0Agent OFFICIALLY confirms Arsenal favourites to sign \u00a370M star<\/p>\n<p>Must Check Out: <strong>Agent confirms Arsenal favs sign striker \u2013 Brazilian tells Arsenal he wants move \u2013 Prem star opens door Emirates move<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LOVE ARSENAL?
