Mikel Arteta has been sent a major Arsenal transfer incentive to sign his own Jude Bellingham by bringing Gabri Veiga to the club this summer. The Celta Vigo attacking midfielder has attracted significant interest in the last few months for his impressive performances, with nine goals and four assists arriving from 35 appearances, with Real Madrid also said to be monitoring his situation.
Los Blancos appear on the verge of signing Bellingham himself after striking a deal with Borussia Dortmund which would see the teenager join in the summer transfer window. Carlo Ancelotti's men adding Veiga to their ranks as well could therefore be unlikely, but Ancelotti may have already endorsed the transfer.
Speaking ahead of his team taking on Celta Vigo, the former Chelsea boss said: "We have great respect for Celta, who are doing well. They are well set-up on the pitch and produce good patterns of play, with players like Aspas and Gabri Veiga. We'll try to do our job. He’s a top footballer, like Aspas. They’re quality players who have something special and they’re having very good seasons."
