Patrick Vieira Says He Could 'Never Ignore' Offer to Become Arsenal Manager

Nice manager Patrick Vieira has said he "couldn't ignore" an offer from Arsenal to become the club's next boss.

Freddie Ljungberg, a former team-mate of Vieira's at Arsenal, is currently in temporary charge of the Gunners following the dismissal of Unai Emery. Arsenal are in a terrible run of form, having gone nine games in all competitions without a win.

Vieira has been mentioned as a possible candidate to take over at the Emirates Stadium and has said he would have to consider an approach from the Premier League side if it arrived, per Canal Plus (h/t Robin Bairner of Goal).
