Think this kid is going to be needing a thread pretty soon. While he played CB during the preseason tour, he has mostly been playing CM for our development squads the last year or so.
For me, he looks like he has the skill set to be an ideal Pochettino pivot midfielder. Having been a defender, he's solid in a tackle and seems to read the game well. But also from all reports he is very talented on the ball and can really pick a pass. He's pretty small to be a center defender and it seems like Oglivie is the more prized player at center back coming up through the academy. I'm hoping that we get to see Veljkovic get a fair few games in the midfield this year throughout the early cup group stages and in Europa.
Thoughts?
