Arsenal believe they've uncovered the 'new Patrick Vieira' - in Poland!

TVP Sport says Arsenal are in talks with Legia Warsaw over a deal for 16 year-old midfield prospect Krystian Bielik.

Bielik plays in similar fashion to Gunners legend Vieira and Arsenal hope to add him to their academy squad in the New Year.

Polish sources say Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger sees Bielik as a long-term successor to skipper Mikel Arteta.

A fee of €2 million is being discussed between the two clubs.
