Incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino has "made direct contact" with representatives for Liverpool-linked Gabri Veiga as he attempts to convince the highly-rated starlet to sign for Chelsea instead.
That's according to reports from Spanish publication Relevo as the Reds continue to chase further midfield targets after signing Alexis Mac Allister for an undisclosed fee. Jurgen Klopp and his Anfield recruitment team have already been linked with countless names; including Khephren Thuram, Ryan Gravenberch and Veiga.
Having earned rave reviews for Celta Vigo last season - despite their scrap against relegation - the young Spaniard will represent his country at the upcoming U21 European Championships in Romania and Georgia. After that, though, there could be an almighty queue for his signature.
