Chelsea will have to beat Manchester City to the punch if they are to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga this summer, according to reports. The player is a target for the Blues, football.london understands, but is far from their priority.
That lies firmly with the addition of Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old is set to leave Brighton during the next two months with Arsenal and Manchester United also keen on the player. Having pushed him to the number one target for the position, it is Mauricio Pochettino's men that are currently best-placed to sign him.
Arsenal have instead set their sights on making Declan Rice the main incoming in north London for the window and have had a bid worth over £105million ($127million) lodged. Having faced competition from Manchester City up until this point, Pep Guardiola's side will not pursue the West Ham captain any longer with figures still rising.
