Arsenal fighting Tottenham and Chelsea for ‘mini-Kaka’ transfer with star revealed to have £34m release clause
ARSENAL have reportedly joined Tottenham and Chelsea in the race to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.
The Gunners have hit the ground running with their transfer business this summer.
Kai Havertz became Mikel Arteta’s first signing of the window last month after he completed a £65million move from Chelsea.
Dutch defender Jurrien Timber is also set to make his way to North London, with a £34m agreement in place with Ajax.
And England international Declan Rice is set to become Arsenal’s third summer addition.
The Gunners finally reached a record-breaking £105m agreement with West Ham last week following a lengthy period of negotiations.
But Arteta already has his sights set on another target.
According to French outlet Le10 Sport, Arsenal are considering a swoop for Veiga.
The midfielder, who is expected to leave Celta Vigo this summer, has a £34m release clause.
But the Gunners face competition from Premier League rivals Tottenham and Chelsea.

Viega, who has been dubbed the “mini-Kaka“, recently starred for Spain at the Under-21 European Championship.
The 21-year-old scored 11 goals and assisted four in 40 appearances for Celta last season and his impressive form attracted attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
