Vieira in Grimandi talks about shock Arsenal return


Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira is weighing up a sensational return to Arsenal.

The People says when Vieira heard the news last week that fellow Frenchman and close friend Thierry Henry was staying at Arsenal, he began sounding out the possibility of rejoining the Gunners before they move into their new £350m, state-of-the-art stadium at Ashburton Grove.
The man at the centre of the deal is former Arsenal star Gilles Grimandi, who scouts for the Gunners in Europe and has remained in touch with Vieira.
It is believed Vieira blames vice-chairman David Dein for his Highbury exit rather than manager Arsene Wenger, which means he would be prepared to patch things up with his former boss.
