Portsmouth manager Tony Adams plans to speak
with Inter Milan about the availability of Patrick
Vieira.
Adams was appointed as the new manager at Fratton Park on
Tuesday following Harry Redknapp's sudden move to Tottenham and he
is looking to put his own stamp on the squad.
He has identified former Arsenal team-mate Vieira as one of his
top targets and will be contacting Jose Mourinho in the near
future.
Vieira, who left Arsenal in 2005, has struggled with injuries in
recent times and is entering the twilight of his career, but Adams
believes the 32-year-old would still have plenty to offer.
"He is definitely a player I'd like to bring here if he was
available," Adams told the Sunday Mirror.
"I will be speaking to Inter manager Jose Mourinho and asking
about him.
"With Patrick you know what you are getting - he is a proven
winner and a great character."
