He has gone on to make 68 appearances for the Whites across two full seasons and was part of the Three Lions team who won the Toulon U21 Tournament.
CM describes the six-foot Vieira as a player ‘a deep-lying playmaker with the characteristics of a modern midfielder; good technique, pace, strength and box-to-box running’.
