Chelsea’s Renato Veiga: The Under-the-Radar Signing Making Waves Amidst Ben Chilwell’s Uncertain Future
One of Chelsea’s more under-the-radar signings this summer, Renato Veiga, could prove to be one of their shrewder additions.
Veiga has already made several appearances for his new club since his summer move and seems to have overtaken one of the more experienced players in the squad.
Ben Chilwell is currently out of Chelsea’s plans, as head coach Enzo Maresca appears not to see a future for the former vice-captain in the team.
Marc Cucurella has emerged as the top choice for the left-back position, starting the first two Premier League games of the season. This follows a strong six-month period for Cucurella, during which he excelled for both club and country, helping Spain win the European Championships.
Renato Veiga has spoken highly of Cucurella, praising him as an “outstanding” player and commending his contributions both on and off the field.
Veiga also highlighted the positive impact of their competition for a place in the squad, noting that it fosters a healthy team environment. He stated on the official Chelsea website, “What a player, what a guy! I love competing, he does as well. That’s how you build a healthy relationship and group – with a lot of internal competition.”
This summer’s transfer strategy at Chelsea has emphasized having at least two quality players available for each position, ensuring depth and competition within the squad.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly concerned about their center-back situation as the transfer window nears its close. The club had hoped to sell Trevoh Chalobah to fund a new defensive signing. However, recent reports suggest that Chalobah might stay at Chelsea, as some within the club are impressed with how he has handled this delicate situation.
