Tottenham
Hotspur have emerged as an unlikely
candidate to sign Patrick
Vieira.
The Inter midfielder has been linked with a move all summer, and
recently turned down an offer from Birmingham City.
According to The Daily
Mail, Spurs are preparing a one-year deal, with wages
of around £35,000, considerably less than his current deal at
Inter.
The newspaper quotes a 'friend' of Vieira's as saying, "This is not
about money, this is about a chance to play.
"He has great memories of his time in London at Arsenal but that is
in the past. The deal is not completed but he has an open
mind.
"He is not afraid of the challenge from Spurs."
Furthermore, an 'Inter source' is supposed to have said, "The club
are willing to discuss a transfer with Tottenham."
Vieira has previously stated that he would find it hard to play for
another Premier League club, but Spurs are hoping that the lure of
moving back to London might be too tempting to ignore.
