Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira is confident the young players at Arsenal will soon have them challenging for the Premiership again.

Ex-Gunners captain Vieira said: "They've had a difficult time but the Arsenal players keep going. I think it's really important the way they keep playing really good football, they keep creating so many chances.

"I think they will need a little bit more time and in football you don't have time because you get criticism so quickly. But in the end I think Arsenal will always be near the top."
