Raphael Veiga reveals admiration for Man Utd and Arsenal amid transfer links
Brazilian attacker Raphael Veiga has been linked with a departure from Palmeiras and has revealed his admiration for Arsenal and manchester united.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS (h/t SportWitness), Veiga has revealed that he wants to play in Europe and compete for major trophies in the near future.
The attacker revealed that Arsenal and Manchester United are among his favorite clubs, sparking speculation that he could join one of the first division giants.
“I have the desire to play in Europe, but I am also very happy to play for Palmeiras. I like many teams in Europe. Barcelona, Madrid, City, Arsenal and others like Manchester United… It is difficult to say just one. There are impressive teams and they all have something special and interesting.”
The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has been a key player for the Brazilian club and has four goals in three appearances in all competitions this season. He is also capable of acting as a second striker.
Arsenal could certainly use someone like Veiga, who can operate as a false nine and add creativity and goals to the team. Gabriel Jesus He has not been at his best this season and Veiga could be a quality alternative.
Option
Likewise, Manchester United needs more depth and quality in attack. Mark Rashford has been hugely disappointing this season and Rasmus Hojlund He is still getting to grips with life in the Premier League.
Veiga would add creativity and goals in the final third, and a move to Arsenal or Manchester United would be a big step forward for him. The Brazilian is at the peak of his powers at the moment and will look to make an instant impact in the Premier League if he arrives in England.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Manchester United dare to do something for him after his recent revelations. The attacker is valued at £15 million according to Transfer marketand the two English clubs certainly have the financial capacity to complete the deal.
