Spurs back in the hunt for former Arsenal star Patrick Vieira

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is believed to be preparing another bid for Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira in January. Spurs tried to buy Vieira during the summer transfer window, only for the potential deal to fall through after the 33-year-old admitted that he couldn't join Arsenal's arch-rivals after nine years with the Gunners. Decision time: Vieira might yet decide his future lies away from Inter MilanBut the club now understand that Vieira's limited playing time with Inter Milan is becoming an increasing concern for him, and the Frenchman will be willing to discuss a return to England with Spurs if manager Jose Mourinho continues to ignore him. The 33-year-old was an unused substitute in Inter's goalless draw with Barcelona in the Champions League in mid-week, and Spurs will keep close tabs on his circumstances as the January transfer window draws nearer.Vieira has also given Spurs encouragement in their quest by revealing his admiration for Redknapp: 'I have a big respect for the manager,' Vieira said. 'He is somebody I could work under because I really like the personality he's got and every player I know who has worked with him have been really happy.'  Arsenal and West Ham still in the hunt for Chamakh despite Juventus talksChelsea v TOTTENHAM: Gomes in contention for derbyChelsea v TOTTENHAM: Gomes in contention for derbyHarry hails midfield marvel Wilson Palacios as reason for Spurs revivalTOTTENHAM NEWS AND VIEWS FROM AROUND THE NETARSENAL NEWS AND VIEWS FROM AROUND THE NET  Explore more:People:Jose Mourinho, Harry Redknapp, Patrick VieiraPlaces:United Kingdom
