Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Chelsea defender Renato Veiga at the end of the season.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Italian club Juventus and a report from TBR football claims that Tottenham are paying close attention to his situation. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are prepared to sell the player in the summer. The Blues are reportedly happy with his performances on loan at the Italian club, and they view him as an important part of the future.
The 21-year-old is capable of operating as a left-back, a left-winger, and a central defender. His versatility could be an added bonus for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and he could prove to be a key player for them in the long term.
He has struggled for regular gametime at Chelsea during the first half of the season, and Tottenham might be able to provide him with more opportunities. Destiny Udogie has been quite underwhelming this season, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to bring in the Chelsea player as competition for the Italian. Meanwhile, Udogie has been linked with a move away from the club, with Manchester City keen on securing his signature.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Veiga joined Chelsea for a fee of around £12 million last summer, and he has been quite impressive in his recent outings. Chelsea will hope that he can continue to impress at Juventus for the remainder of the season.
He has impressed with the national team as well, and Veiga is highly rated by the Portuguese national team manager, Roberto Martinez.
