Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira has been lifting weights three times a week in a bid to bulk up for the physical demands of English football.
The 22-year-old, a £30million signing from Porto this summer, has a slight frame and stands at only 5ft 7ins.
Vieira has largely been limited to Europa League action so far and he started again in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.


But after the match in Norway, the attacking midfielder revealed how he is adapting to life in north London.
