Arsenal line up move to bring club legend back to the Emirates

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira is a possible candidate to replace Arsene Wenger as manager of the Gunners, according to The Daily Mail.

Vieira spent nine years as a player at Arsenal, signing for the Highbury side only two months before Arsene Wenger became manager.

During his time in North London, Vieira won three Premier League titles and three FA Cups.

He is currently manager of New York City FC in the MLS, but he could be returning to his footballing home if Arsenal are keen on the idea.  The club are reportedly looking for candidates to replace Wenger after Arsenal have suffered a difficult season.

Wenger is on very good terms with Stan Kroenke and any decision for him in terms of leaving the club will be his and him being sacked is reportedly out of the question.
