Arsenal could change their summer window plans following a major claim made by a club president on one of their transfer targets. Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga has attracted significant attention after enjoying an excellent few months in La Liga where he has scored nine goals from 25 appearances.
Central midfield is the priority position that Mikel Arteta and Edu will be hoping to fill in the summer window and West Ham Captain Declan Rice is the main target, football.london understands. Leicester's Youri Tielemans looked destined to make the move to north London upon the expiration of his contract at the Foxes, but that no longer appears to be the case.
While Rice has been highlighted as the priority, a move for Veiga could help secure the long-term future of the Arsenal midfield. The 20-year-old has mostly been deployed as a central midfielder as part of a two-man partnership, often being the one to push into attack, a very similar action to what Granit Xhaka has been doing this season, but in a three-man midfield.
