Who is new Chelsea signing Renato Veiga?

Veiga is predominately a defensive midfielder, who has been at FC Basel since last summer having completed a move from Sporting CP. The 20-year-old came through the Portuguese club’s academy but failed to establish himself in Sporting’s first team.

The move to Basel has benefitted the youngster as it has allowed him to develop his game, which has in turn, has attracted the interest of clubs such as Chelsea.

The Portuguese star played 26 times for the Swiss club last season and despite spending so little time in Switzerland, the midfielder has secured a big move to the Premier League where he will look to kick on further.
