Title: Miguel Veloso

The Gunners are also tracking Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso and Ajax winger Ryan Babel. (Daily Mirror)


QUOTE
Miguel Veloso is a highly promising central defender who is equally as home playing as a defensive midfielder.

He burst onto the scene in spectacular fashion at the start of the 2006/07 campaign when he was thrown in at the deep end in Sporting’s opening Champions League match at home to a star-studded Inter Milan side.

Before the match much was made of Luis Figo’s homecoming, but by the end of the ninety minutes all the talk was of Veloso, who turned in a man-of-the-match display to completely shut Figo and company out and help Sporting to a memorable 1-0 win.

Veloso possesses an imposing physical presence and is extremely strong in the air, although he usually dispenses with the need to get physical due to a highly tuned sense of anticipation. He is an accurate passer, with even long throughballs rarely missing their intended target and he also has a tremendously powerful shot.


Scored a peach of a free kick the other day...

If Wenger is really after Veloso then he means business next season . Veloso is exactly like Mascherano but he can shoot . He has the ability of stopping any player . He is the kind of rock we need to stop leaking goals . He is very effective equally as a CB as well as a DM with a very powerful shot . He is also a very good and accurate passer . F..ck Diaby and Denilson . Bring on Veloso . No one will bully us again . We need tough boys and Veloso is one of them .

Depends on what you mean as unknown. If your talking about a 16 year old kid from Norway then yes. But if your talking about a 6ft 21year old whose played patrick vieira off the park then absolutely not.

I've had a scout and he looks quite good,not sure what his better or preferred position is mind-dm or defender...

Cripps - June 16, 2007 08:59 PM (GMT)
Scored a free kick today.

Cesc also played Vieira off the park, team them up and we would have no problem stopping Vieira...

Seriously though, Gilberto is more than good enough to play for at least another 2 seasons, with Denilson and Diaby as back up(Diaby isn't technically a DM, but he does have the imposing physique) do we really need him? Of course, if he really is good enough to play in the Prem already then it may well be a shrewd move, but bear in mind Baptista was supposed to be an 'unstoppable powerhouse' in Spain and ended up losing out to 80/90% of defenders over here physically

Seen him a few times and immediately i thought that his game mirrored Petits

Hasn't looked half bad in the games I've seen him in. If he is like Petit, I'd take him.

But do we need another DM? Perhaps Song is on the way out... :unsure:

One things for sure, Portugal are producing some wonderful players these days. Have to be serious contenders on the international scene in the next two or three tournaments.

Without experienced players, Portugual will go nowhere.

Watching all the games of the UEFA Under 21 Championships so far, the one player that has impressed me more than any other is Miguel Veloso of Sporting Lisbon. Arsenal have their sights set on him, but Manchester United could prove a spoiler as they have a right of first refusal.

The Portuguese is a natural defensive midfielder and has been so impressive of late he is already challenging for a place on the senior side, where Felipe Scolari sees the 21 year old as a potential stalwart for midfield as Portugal challenge for a Euro 2008 place.

Physically they are different but there are a lot of similarities to Patrick Vieira, especially in terms of tenacity and passing. Veloso shows great composure and excellent technique. He has a great free kick as well as the ability to link up play. The 21-year-old admits he would be interested in a move to England:

"There is a lot of quality in England and for any young player it is an attractive proposition."

Reports in Portugal claim Arsene Wenger will approach Sporting Lisbon to discuss a transfer within weeks.

Veloso's agent Paulo Barbosa confirmed interest:

"There are some big European clubs in for the kid, but not only clubs from England but also Spain - but the subject is exclusively for Sporting, Veloso has a deal signed until June 2013 and club is not willing to negotiate his exit."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had Veloso and Joao Moutinho watched in all three of Portugal U21's group games at the European Championships. Veloso is also on Manchester United's radar screen and have a first refusal agreement with Sporting which could potentially keep him away from Arsenal. You would imagine after signing Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich there would not be much interest but nonetheless, United have also been tracking the player closely and had scouts at Portugal’s games to watch him.
