One outlet has been raving about one of Chelsea’s new signings from the summer after he played his latest match for his national side over the weekend.
Chelsea have signed a lot of players recently, some have been real hits, others not so much. But on the whole, the new signings are seemingly doing very well at the moment and there have been a few real gems picked up by the Chelsea scouts.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea’s transfer plans for new full backs revealed!!
Renato Veiga seems to be one of those, and a lot like Malo Gusto, he seems to be one of those signings that nobody really knew too much about until they came to Chelsea. They were not household names at all, but Chelsea scouted them and took a risk on them.
Like Gusto, it looks like the Veiga risk might be paying off.
Veiga shines for Portugal
He started as a centre back for Portugal against Poland on Saturday and was on the winning side after they beat the Polish 3-1 away from home.
And Spanish outlet AS, as cited on X, have been raving about Veiga.
They wrote:
“A gem that was hidden in the Swiss league after leaving Sporting almost through the back door. Enzo Maresca and Roberto Martínez didn’t let him get away.
“He’s the new idol of Portugal and Chelsea. The €14m paid to Basel is beginning to look cheap. Veiga passed the exam with flying colours. His good touch (very close to perfection in passing) and powerful shot make him very complete for his age. And with a privileged physique.”
It’s certainly some words of praise. Veiga has started well at Chelsea this season and the fact he can play well in many different positions seems to be a massive bonus as well.
He will be looking to grow his game time and development over this season.
