Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is stunned to learn he is competing with Arsenal for Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira.

"That is surprising but I had heard nothing about it," he said. "I am sure he will be a good signing whoever he signs for.

"He belonged to Arsenal, he was fantastic there so if an opportunity to go back there came along then I'm sure he would take it.

"But I haven't spoke to anyone, it could only be a rumour so I don't know."
