Iago Aspas urges Celta Vigo team-mate to avoid Liverpool transfer
Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas has urged Gabri Veiga to ignore interest from the Premier League in the summer to remain with the Spanish club.
Liverpool are reportedly joined by league leaders Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle in their pursuit of the talented 20-year-old. Aspas is no stranger to life in the Premier League after he made the move to Anfield in 2013 when he was 25-years-old and he made just 14 appearances.

Midfielder Veiga took his La Liga tally to nine, making him the most prolific scorer from the middle in the Spanish top division.
“What I recommend to Gabri, who is very good and also very young, is that he stay at Celta for at least one more season," Aspas told AS. "Next season is Celta’s centenary. And I would like Gabri Veiga to stay with us."

Erling Haaland injury update as hospital visit required ahead of Man City vs Liverpool
Erling Haaland’s father believes it is 'touch and go' as to whether his son will feature for Manchester City against Liverpool next weekend.
Jurgen Klopp’s side make the trip to the Etihad next Saturday to take on City as the Premier League returns following the international break. Pep Guardiola's side are second in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.
However, City could be without the forward for the big game. Haaland picked up a groin problem after scoring a hat-trick in City's 6-0 thrashing of Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-final last weekend.
Despite initially linking up with the Norway national team, the 22-year-old left his side’s training camp in Marbella on Tuesday and travelled to Barcelona, where he was assessed by Ramon Cugat. Haaland has since returned to Marbella, where he owns a house, but his father has cast doubt on him being back in time to face the Reds following a hospital visit.
