Patrick Vieira has set his heart on being a Gunner for a
decade.
The Arsenal skipper almost quit the club to join Real Madrid in the
summer.
But he has now visited the Gunners鈥� new ground at Ashburton Grove and has
made it his mission to captain the side when they kick off there in August
2006.
Vieira said: 鈥淚 can鈥檛 wait to lead the team out there, in front of 60,000
Arsenal fans. It will be terrific.鈥�
France midfielder Vieira has already clocked up eight seasons with the
Gunners.
He moved to Highbury from AC Milan for 锟�3.5million back in August 1996 and
will be 30 by the time Arsenal move house.
The bright future with a spanking new state-of-the-art home and brilliant
young players has convinced him London is a better bet than Madrid.
Vieira added: 鈥淭he new stadium and the whole positive direction the club is
going in is the reason why I wanted to stay around.
