Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira has compared himself to Bernardo Silva ahead of Arsenal's second leg against Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.
Vieira joined the Gunners from Porto for 34million in the summer but has played a limited role in their title charge, starting just two Premier League games. He arrived in north London with an injury, but has gradually become more involved in Mikel Arteta's side, picking up two assists in his past five appearances.
Vieira is convinced he can make a difference for the Gunners and compared himself to Manchester City star Silva in the pre-match press conference.
He's an extraordinary player, I know him very well," Vieira told Portuguese reporters. I think we are similar players, with similar qualities.
"Of course I admire him."
