He firmly deserves to be in the conversation alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes and Roy Keane when discussing the best Premier League midfielder ever.

It goes to show how important he was that Arsenal have never really replaced Vieira since his departure in 2005.

Thomas Partey is currently the man who has been tasked of replicating the great Frenchman, but injuries mean we haven't seen him at his best yet.

Had Arsenal managed to get replace Vieira with someone who was as good as him in his prime, it goes without saying that the Gunners would have won a Premier League title in the past 16 years.
