Wenger has urged Patrick Vieira to quit Inter Milan in order to make the France squad for the World Cup.
Vieira has lost his place in the national side after slipping down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho at the San Siro.
And Gunners boss Wenger said: ‘He must change club in January if he wants to play in the World Cup. He doesn’t play enough.
‘What he’s missing is playing time. To go to the World Cup at his age, you must play. But I think Patrick can regain his starting place for France.’

Stuart Pearce insists he has buried the hatchet with Arsene Wenger over Theo Walcott’s controversial inclusion in the England Under-21 squad.
Wenger has been smarting since the summer when he claimed Walcott was being overworked by playing for England’s senior side in World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Andorra, then for the Under-21s at the European Championship in Sweden.
The Arsenal manager’s mood was not helped when Walcott suffered a back injury in pre-season, ruling him out of the first 11 games before he made an appearance off the bench against Blackburn on Sunday.
However, Under-21 boss Pearce dismissed concerns that Walcott’s call-up for Friday’s European Championship Group Nine qualifier against Macedonia at the Ricoh Arena has put further strain on his relationship with Wenger, insisting the issue has been resolved by clear-the-air talks.
