Chelsea to replace Mason Mount with Spanish starlet?
Chelsea could reportedly replace Mason Mount with Celta Vigo sensation Gabri Veiga this summer.
The Blues are currently considering the sale of Mount, who will enter the final year of his contract next month.
Talks are ongoing with Manchester United over his transfer, and a deal could be agreed over the next couple of weeks.
If Mount heads for the exit door, the Blues will need a replacement, and The Telegraph claim that Veiga is on their radar.
The Spanish youngster has had a wonderful breakout campaign with Celta Vigo. He scored 11 goals and four assists in La Liga.
His progress has impressed several elite clubs around Europe, and Chelsea will be aiming to beat them to his signature.
Veiga currently has a release clause worth £35 million in his deal, and Celta are reluctant to sell him for anything less this summer.
Apart from Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with the 21-year-old.
