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 just 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.
“Then, he will be able to choose to play wherever he wants, because his potential is fantastic. He is followed by great clubs, I know. But Gabri is 20 years old and has time ahead of him.”
Veiga reportedly has a £33 million release clause in his contract as the Reds consider a move for Spanish youngster.
