Hamburger SV pulled off a transfer coup just before the summer window closed, securing Fabio Vieira on loan from Arsenal.

According to Bild, the 25-year-old attacking midfielder was previously offered to Bayern Munich by one of his agents as a potential replacement for the long-term injured Jamal Musiala. 

However, the German champions weren't interested in signing the midfielder.

Vieira was also linked with a move to VfB Stuttgart before ultimately joining HSV.

The creative midfielder could make his HSV debut when the newly-promoted side travel to southern Germany to face Bayern Munich on Saturday.
