Veiga thrilled with his early experiences at Chelsea, says Paul Vegas

Veiga has gained valuable experience in senior football since joining in the summer and is geared up to take on Barrow in the Carabao Cup tonight.

He told the Chelsea match programme: "I’m just trying to enjoy every moment.

"I always loved the Premier League. It was the only league I truly watched every game from. I could watch the last-placed team playing against the next-to-last team and it was always exciting for me.

"I love the environment inside the stadiums and how much it means to the fans. For us players, knowing how much it means to them gives us an extra boost. It’s just nice to play in those environments."
