Vieira’s love affair with Arsenal continues

ARSENE WENGER believes Patrick Vieira is back to his best and determined to prove that his love affair with Arsenal is still flourishing. Vieira’s commitment to Arsenal was questioned last summer when the Frenchman came close to moving to Real Madrid.

Only a late u-turn kept him at Highbury and the disruption caused by that uncertainty, allied to two injury problems, affected his performances in the first half of the season.

However, firstly at Newcastle midweek and then at Charlton, Vieira proved he has returned to his best as he led Arsenal to vital wins.
