WHAT HAPPENED?

Veiga reportedly has a medical scheduled in London with the 20-year-old Portugal youth international expected to sign a contract until 2032 with the Stamford Bridge club following a successful season with Basel despite the Swiss club's struggles domestically as they finished eighth.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Veiga is anticipated to be deployed as an inverted full-back and is thought to be an ideal fit for Enzo Maresca's system despite having played for Basel as a left-sided centre-back, left-back, or a number six. Last season, he made 26 appearances for the Swiss team, scoring twice and providing one assist.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Portugal international is set to join Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman as the first signings of the Maresca era.
