Arsenal
In September 1996, the incoming Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger requested Vieira's purchase from Milan prior to taking up his position. Vieira was signed for £3.5 million, a figure which would be deemed a bargain in years to come. His height, stamina and physical strength allowed him to settle into the English game quickly, while his composure and the quality of his passing cemented his position as an integral part of Wenger's stylish attacking side.
In 03/04 at Arsenal, he captained the side on a historic unbeaten season in the Premier League.
On July 14, 2005, Arsenal accepted a bid of £18 million from Juventus and Vieira agreed a five-year contract the following day.
In total, Vieira played 407 times for Arsenal and scored 34 times.
