Henry says Vieira best midfielder in the world

THIERRY HENRY last night hailed Patrick Vieira as a “club legend” and insisted the Arsenal captain’s last two inspirational displays had proved that he is the best midfielder in the world.

Vieira has guided Arsenal to victory against Everton and Chelsea within the space of just over two days despite being afflicted by exhaustion and a knee injury, leaving him to proclaim the Gunners as “still the side to beat.”

Indeed, such has been his recent impact that he was named man of the match on both occasions as Arsenal revived their season after back-to-back defeats by Blackburn and Valencia.
