Arsenal striking legend Ian Wright has dropped a bombshell by revealing that Patrick Vieira is close to rejoining the Gunners.Vieira is expected to leave Inter Milan on a free transfer this summer, and North London rivals
Spurs were the favourites of any Premier League club to capture the French internationals signature.Redknapp has been frustrated in his attempts to bring the 33-year-old to White Hart Lane however, and Vieira is believed to have stalled on the move for fear of a fans backlash at the Emirates.
Arsenal now appear to have entered the race for their former captain, and his old teammate Wright has stoked a serious transfer fire with his comments.Speaking on his TalkSport radio show, Wright said: "I'm hearing Vieira, pay-as-you-play back at Arsenal. That's what I'm hearing and that's what I'm hoping."Arsene Wenger has no track-record of signing former players, and the signing of a player the age of Vieira would go against his policies. That said, Arsenal have failed to win a trophy since he left in 2005.Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the
