Deal agreed for Veiga

Chelsea have agreed a £12m move in principle for FC Basel's Renato Veiga.

The 20-year-old would be brought in to bolster the left-side of the Blues' defence as a versatile option that is capable of playing at left-back and centre-back. He also has a history of operating as a defensive midfielder.

The move comes less than a year after he joined the Swiss giants, where he made 26 appearances in all competitions after moving from his boyhood club Sporting in Portugal.

Veiga is a current Portugal under-21 international and has previously spent time on loan in Germany with Augsburg.

Chelsea are now expected to make Veiga their fifth signing of the summer after securing deals for Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu.
