Wenger has 'surrendered' in Vieira battle: Spanish press

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s ultimatum to midfielder Patrick Vieira to decide by this weekend if he wants to move to Real Madrid has been taken in the Spanish press as an admission of defeat and that the Frenchman’s arrival in Spain is imminent.

In Spain Wenger had until now been portrayed as the main obstacle to the Senegal-born French international’s move to Real Madrid.
