HSV are doing everything possible to convince the midfielder that the move is right and have promised to build the midfield around him.

Unfortunately for Vieira, his career at Arsenal never really got going after making 49 appearances for the club, and now he looks set to depart.
Vieira is unlikely to be the only Arsenal player sold this summer, with Ben White, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard possible sales.
Arsenal will want to add to their squad this summer, and therefore, sales are going to be key towards bringing in quality talent.
Signing a new attacker is set to be one of the big priorities, and a left winger could be the main area which the Gunners target.
