Gabri Veiga could be the next Jack Wilshere for Arsenal

Gabri Veiga could be the next Jack Wilshere for Arsenal. Arsenal’s business is not rumoured to be finished yet in the transfer window. This is with the Gunners linked to midfielder Gabri Veiga throughout the summer.

Mikel Arteta stated during the club’s pre-season tour that there is “still time to do things”. That is hinting that he could spend additional amounts to the £210m already spent by the north Londoners so far.

Gabri Veiga to Arsenal makes a lot of sense

He is lauded as a “sensation” by members of the media. The midfielder has cemented himself as one of La Liga’s most promising stars. That is for his contribution to Celta Vigo’s side.

In the 2022/23 campaign, the superstar gem contributed to 15 goals in La Liga. That is by scoring 11 and assisting four in a dominant individual term from central midfield.

Highlighted as a ‘box-to-box’ midfielder by talent scout Jacek Kulig. The 21-year-old bears some similarities to former Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere. Who the club could imitate by signing the Spaniard.

Opting to retire from the game at just 30-years-old, the Englishman had a sensational start to his career. But sadly that was ultimately plagued by injury which forced him to call it quits so early to take on a coaching role.

Hailed as “highly talented” by Kulig, the 21-year-old could be a player that could illustrate the traits lauded by the north Londoners in relation to Wilshere’s hopeful career.

He is a player influential in the final third. Arteta could land another goal-scoring threat to his midfield. Which has been significantly bolstered already this summer with the £105m capture of Declan Rice from West Ham.

The report claims that there’s an all-London tussle ongoing for the midfielder. That is with Tottenham and Chelsea also eyeing the talent, who has a €40m (£34m) release clause in place in Spain
