Vieira happy at Juventus

Patrick Vieira is pleased with life at Juventus following his decision to quit Arsenal.

Patrick Vieira is pleased with life at Juventus following the major decision to leave Arsenal last summer.

The former Gunners captain has been sorely missed by Highbury chief Arsene Wenger but is delighted with how things have turned out in Turin.

Any talk of a Premiership return for the France captain would appear to be well wide of the mark.

"We can win everything," he enthused. "We have a competitive squad.

"I'm happy because I'm on the right way to achieving everything I wanted, coming to Juventus."

Vieira is now feeling fully fit again after struggling with a groin injury.

"I feel good now," he asserted. "The physical problem is overcome.

"I worked a lot and now I'm fit.

"Do I feel myself a leader at Juve? Yes, but in these teams there are many leaders and all of us are useful to be able to keep winning.

"We are top of the table with eight points' advantage. The team's potential is big.

"Now we must keep leading until the end and this period of the league is the most important one."
