“What I can tell you is that he’s doing everything he can to make that process really short.” Vieira can play in a variety of positions across the front three and in midfield.
And Arteta says it is down to the player to find his best role. He added: “That’s something the player is going to tell us.
“We are already trying him in different positions in training, and he’s played on the left, right, as a false nine and an attacking midfielder, so it’s good. He doesn’t want to be locked in any one position, because he’s so used to it, and that’s a really positive thing for us.”
