Liverpool Tracking Inter Midfielder Patrick Vieira


Liverpool are the latest club to show interest in Inter midfielder Patrick Vieira, according to The Irish Independent.

The 1998 World Cup winner has fallen down the pecking order at the Nerazzurri and has constantly found himself starting matches on the bench this season under coach Jose Mourinho.

The Frenchman recently announced his intention to stay with the Nerazzurri until the end of the season and fight for his chances, but with his place at the World Cup 2010 in jeopardy he may change his mind if the right offer comes along.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez reportedly believes Vieira's experience and leadership would be useful for the Reds after they crashed out of the Champions League and currently sit seventh in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old is well aware of what it takes to compete in England, having spent nine years with Arsenal earlier in his career.

Tottenham, Lyon and Barcelona have also been linked with the tough tackling midfielder over the last few months.
