Juventus target Patrick Vieira has given Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger a huge boost by declaring he wants to stay at Highbury.
The French international has been the subject of speculation linking him with a host of top European clubs - including Juve, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Barcelona - but has now pledged his future to the Gunners.
"There's no reason for me to leave," Vieira told the News of the World."It's irrelevant to talk about leaving - I feel great here. We don't reach every goal but the motivation and spirit are there."
The midfielder said: "We all want to give our best. We should all be grateful to Arsene Wenger - he has certainly done a lot for my game."
