Vieira not bothered by Arsenal rumours and committed to Nice

The Gunners idol has been linked with his former club on numerous occasions since Arsene Wenger left in 2018 but he is happy with his current job

Patrick Vieira insists there was never any chance of him replacing Unai Emery at Arsenal as he and Nice are "100 per cent" committed to one another.

Former Arsenal captain Vieira has been linked with the Gunners job since Arsene Wenger's departure in 2018, but Mikel Arteta instead took over after Emery was sacked in November.

The Frenchman says there were no talks with Arsenal on this occasion, although the Nice coach is adamant he would have turned down any offer regardless.
