Manchester United and Arsenal are both reportedly interested in signing Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.
The 20-year-old came through the youth system at Celta, making his first-team debut for the Sky Blues in September 2020, and he has now featured on 40 occasions for the club.
Veiga has been an important player for his current side during the 2022-23 campaign, making 24 appearances in all competitions, contributing six goals and two assists in the process.
The Spain Under-21s international has six goals and two assists in 21 La Liga matches this term, and he netted a brace in his side's 4-3 success at Real Betis in the league earlier this month.
According to AS, Arsenal and Man United are both keen on a player who has established himself as a consistent performer in Spain's top flight this season.
The report claims that Veiga's form is 'not going unnoticed' throughout Europe, with a number of Spanish sides also believed to be keeping a close eye on his situation.
Celta have the midfielder on a contract until June 2026, but the club have allegedly accepted that it will be 'very difficult' to keep hold of him during the summer market.
The Sky Blues would reportedly be looking for a fee of around €30m (£26.6m) this summer, while the price could rise higher if he continues to impress in the final months of the campaign.
Veiga was in strong form for Celta B last season, scoring nine goals in 31 appearances, while he also played seven times in Spain's top flight in 2021-22 before becoming a regular this term.
The Spaniard has shown his versatility by operating in a number of different positions at club level this season, playing as an attacking midfielder, central midfielder, right winger and centre-forward.
Both Man United and Arsenal are believed to view him as an attacking midfielder, with the two clubs thought to be looking for players in that area of the field this summer.
A recent report claimed that Erik ten Hag's side were considering a move for Nabil Fekir, with the Real Betis attacker seen as an alternative to Bruno Fernandes.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are thought to be seeing competition for Martin Odegaard, with the club in a very strong position when it comes to securing Champions League football for next season.
Veiga is expected to be in the starting XI when Celta welcome Real Valladolid in La Liga on Sunday. body check tags ::
