Patrick Vieira will stay at Inter Milan and not rejoin former club Arsenal.

According to Sky Sports, the influential midfielder has been linked with a reunion with Arsene Wenger during the summer.

The Arsenal manager did not rule out re-sgning the Frenchman as Tottenham also show their interest in Vieira.

It has been claimed Vieira could leave Serie A champions Inter in a bid to secure regular first-team football ahead of next summer's World Cup.

But it is understood the 33-year-old is to remain at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, ending speculation of a sensational return to England's top fight.
