Patrick Vieira insists Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek will bid again to buy Arsenal after his opening offer of £1.8billion was rejected by the Kroenke family. Vieira - along with former Gunners team-mates Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry - have publicly backed Ek's bid, with the ex-club captain telling Sportsmail at the weekend the club need new direction having 'lost their identity' in recent years. 'He [Ek] is definitely going to try again,' Vieira said. And talking to him a couple of times his desire and his commitment to Arsenal Football Club will be fantastic. If that's not the case, I think it is time for them to let the club go and let somebody else take care of the football club.'
