Brooking hails young Gunners

Trevor Brooking believes the emergence of Cesc Fabregas and Mathieu Flamini may persuade Arsenal the time is right to sell inspirational skipper Patrick Vieira.

Reports in Italy suggest Vieira is on the brink of completing a £9.6m (€14m) switch to Juventus in a deal which could also see a member of the Champions League finalists’ squad moving to Highbury.
