The Portuguese joined the west London giants from Basel last summer and he has been a handy option for manager Enzo Maresca .

Veiga has not started regularly in the Premier League, but he has been a consistent presence in the other competitions this term.

The 21-year-old is primarily a central defender, but he can also operate from the left-back and defensive midfield positions as well.

It is now reported that Juventus and Napoli are interested in securing his services. The duo prefer to sign him on an initial loan deal.

Chelsea consider Veiga as a valuable option to compete with Marc Cucurella at left-back and it is unlikely that they will sanction his exit.

There is a higher possibility of Ben Chilwell heading for the exit door. He has been deemed surplus to requirements by Maresca since last summer.
