Gunners in dark over Vieira
by James Pearson - created on 9 Jul 2005
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood is unaware of a £12 million offer plus players from Juventus for France international midfielder Patrick Vieira.
The Gunners are believed to have already rejected a £4.8 million bid including Stephan Appiah from the Bianconeri, however that has not diminished Juve's resolve.
Reports suggest the Highbury outfit may be tempted to part with Vieira if Jonathan Zebina is included in the deal, but as yet Fabio Capello is not willing to part with the defender.
Despite the rumours surrounding Vieira's future continuing to grow, Hill-Wood has not heard anything regarding a deal and believes the 29-year-old is happy in North London.
"This is all news to me," explained Hill-Wood. "There is maybe something in it, but I certainly know nothing about it.
"And I think that if something were going on, I would know. Everything is fine with Patrick as far as I'm aware."
Arsenal's young Italian striker believes Vieira has made up his mind and that the former Milan man will join Juve this summer.
"He wants to go," said Arturo Lupoli to Tuttosport. "He will transform the Bianconeri. It's a great loss for us."

The Frenchman's future is once again up for debate following reports during the week that Bianconeri officials arrived in north London to start talks over a possible move.
An initial bid of £4.8million plus Stephan Appiah was apparently knocked back, but Juventus aren't ready to give up just yet amid reports that the 29-year-old Vieira wants to leave.
Even Gunners reserve team striker Arturo Lupoli believes the captain is moving on, having told Tuttosport: "He wants to go. He will transform the Bianconeri. It's a great loss for us."
