Tottenham Has Reportedly Been Eyeing ‘Impressive’ Midfielder for Quite Some Time, Sky Reporter Suggests

Last week, Gabri Veiga was highlighted as a potential addition to Tottenham’s squad. However, as per Sky Sports’ Paul Gilmour, Tottenham has been showing interest in the Spanish midfielder for much longer than recently revealed.

Gilmour pointed out on Last Word on Spurs that Tottenham’s interest in Veiga dates back a good while, denoting a longstanding inclination towards the player.

Even at the young age of 20, Veiga has already begun attracting attention from football enthusiasts. Nonetheless, Gilmour says that Tottenham has been musing over the idea of bringing onboard the ‘impressive’ midfielder for quite some time now.

Veiga has long been sought-after

Gilmour brings insights about the young talent from Celta Vigo.

“Without a doubt, Tottenham has shown previous interest in these two players. As far as the current status goes, there’s no evidence that they are on the verge of starting negotiations, particularly with Scott. However, Veiga has consistently been a player Tottenham has shown interest in,” Gilmour shared.

Would be splendid

The decision not to chase Veiga sooner might come back to haunt Tottenham, as several prominent European clubs are now keeping tabs on him.

More annoying is the obvious fittingness of the Spanish player for Ange Postecoglou’s system.

As one of the inventive central midfielders in a 4-3-3 alignment, Veiga possesses the potential to shine in a team that values skillful play and positive attacking football.

There are doubts about his physical readiness for the grueling demands of the Premier League week after week. However, his technical robustness leaves no room for doubting the calibre he could potentially bring to the team.

This summer, Tottenham should prioritize wrapping up Veiga’s signing.
