An EPL legend returns!
Manchester City have completed the signing of France midfielder Patrick Vieira from Inter Milan. The 33-year-old, who passed a medical on Thursday, becomes City boss Roberto Mancini's first signing since he replaced Mark Hughes in December. Said Mancini on the club’s official website: "Patrick is a world class midfielder with a winner's mentality and will fit into this group very well." Mancini has already signed Vieira before, in 2006 when he was manager of Inter Milan. "He knows me and my staff well, and importantly he also knows what the EPL is all about," Mancini added. "He will not need much time to settle in.” Vieira brought his first spell in English football to an end when he left Arsenal for Juventus in 2005 after nine years at the London club. He later joined Inter where he won three Serie A titles.
