The problem Arsenal may face is that Vieira is now firmly ensconced in Manchester City’s global project, first serving as the club’s Elite Development Squad manager before being appointed New York City FC coach in January 2016.

He enjoyed mixed results during his first two seasons at the club, but has enjoyed an excellent start to the 2018 season with the team top of the Eastern Conference after winning five and drawing two of the first seven games.

He is viewed by many at Manchester City as the long-term successor to Guardiola, but with the Spaniard seemingly settled in Manchester for the foreseeable future how long will Vieira be prepared to wait for his opportunity?

This one could happen.
