Vieira not going to Chelsea, insists Wenger

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger has warned Chelsea they will fail in any bid to sign Patrick Vieira as he defiantly insisted none of his leading players are for sale.

Wenger remains confident that Vieira, who has just one year left on his contract, will sign a new deal despite a recent warning he could always walk away on a Bosman free transfer next summer if the terms are not right.

The Arsenal boss also believes Dennis Bergkamp will sign a new one-year contract, probably by the end of the week. Wenger nevertheless has yet to make any pre-season signings to strengthen his squad, despite the departure of keeper David Seaman.
