Patrick Vieira

Birmingham City have made their final offer to Patrick Vieira in a bid to convince him to join the club.

Vieira will be leaving Inter this summer, and there has been no shortage of interest in the former Arsenal man. According to The Sun, Birmingham, who have been chasing Vieira for a considerable amount of time, are running out of patience.

Brum are offering Vieira a lucrative deal of around €116,000 a week, which amounts to €6 million per year.

Vieira, however, is still not sold on the idea of moving to St. Andrew's, especially with offers from Lyon and Bordeaux supposedly on the table. In addition, he is reluctant to play for another Premier League club after his time at Arsenal.

He represented the Gunners on 407 occasions, captaining them during their famous unbeaten season. An official Arsenal fan poll identified him as the fifth greatest player in the club's history.
