Vieira speaks about leaving Arsenal 14 years ago: "I left the club because of Fabregas..."

14 years later, Patrick Vieira spoke about why he left Arsenal. A clear joke, to explain the reasoning to French newspaper Nice-Matin was Cesc Fabregas - the current Spanish midfielder of Monaco. "I saw Patrick Vieira when we played against Nice with Monaco this year and it was very funny. I met him in the locker room before the match and he was with the president of Nice; he said to him while looking at me: President, this is the kid who forced me to leave Arsenal."
