Milos Veljkovic is a Serbian footballer who is a part of Tottenham Hotspur. Born in Switzerland but to Serbian parents on 26th September 1995, Veljkovic started his footballing dream at Swiss giants, FC Basel. After spending the majority of his youth career at the Swiss club, the Serbian moved to the PL club in 2011 and has shown much promise in the youth tournaments and even made 2 first team appearances and numerous games on the bench.
Milos Veljkovic
Tim Sherwood handed the youngster his debut against Sunderland in the 5-1 win on 8 April 2014, coming on as a late substitute for Brazil international, Paulinho. He was given a longer run of play against Aston Villa the following week as he replaced Sandro in the 62nd minute. Though he has not nailed a first team spot or made an appearance under Pochetino, the Serbian enjoyed a good U20 World Cup earlier this summer and has been recalled on multiple occasions back to Tottenham from his loan spells, like with Middlesborough and Charlton, though it was an injury situation at Charlton that ruled him out for the latter half of last season.
Style of Play, Strengths and Weaknesses:
The Serbian is both a central defender and a defensive midfielder. Spurs have a current example in the first team excelling in such a role. You guessed it right, Eric Dier. The English international has earned a call up to the National side and it is all thanks to the new role he has slotted into at the heart of the Central Midfield. It is not doing justice to Dier to say that he is keeping Milos from the first team, simply because the Serbian isn’t of the level yet, but if he keeps developing with the youth team, he is bound to be noticed and could be a fail-safe option in an injury crisis.
Milos is tall and is always an aerial threat, he is often the first one to attack long balls, both while on the attack during set pieces and while commanding the backline like he did with Serbia in the world cup and the Euro u19 championship that the country ran out as winners.
His physicality is also commendable, making it hard to shake him off the ball, but sometimes he can be too lazy or sluggish on the ball that he takes too much time to make a decision, that could result in a poor misplaced pass or giving the ball away cheaply in crucial areas of the pitch.
For a 20-year-old, Milos was one of the most calmest players on the pitch for Serbia in both the U19 Euros and the U20 World Cup. For such a young age, he has a remarkable maturity and is only bound to improve on his calmness and composure when not put under pressure, this could help him in improving his decision making, at least one would hope it does.
Due to his height, you can say he is not one of the quickest around, but he does compensates for it with his exceptional reading of the game and is not afraid to put in a tackle or challenge, however overboard it may seem.
What does the Future hold?
Milos Veljkovic
Part of the golden generation coming through for Serbian football, Milos Veljkovic was one of the best players of the tournament in the U20 WC and started all 8 games as the main CB and was also part of the goals scoring 1 in the whole tournament. Also a winner of the U19 Euros in 2013, he has experience in playing competitive football, though not in the Premier League or FA Cup, he could be a more than average squad player for Spurs in the future, if not someone who is the towering CB who leads the line. For the latter to come true, Spurs will have to shift systems to zonal marking from a high line. In my opinion, he would be a better player in CM than in defense for Tottenham and Milos should look to develop himself in those aspects of football. It will be good for his career if he leaves for clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool or any other EPL club.
Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in what could prove decisive for the Gunners’ Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal sit top of the table with 61 points from 28 matches, five points clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand, while Chelsea occupy 7th with 45 points after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
This represents a huge opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack before facing Brighton away on Wednesday. Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in patchy form under Liam Rosenior, who has won just two of his eight league matches since replacing Enzo Maresca in January despite an encouraging start to his tenure.
Kick-off: 4:30 GMT, Sunday, March 1, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium

Kai Havertz Returns to Haunt Former Club
Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Kai Havertz will train on Saturday ahead of the Chelsea clash, giving the German a chance to feature against his former employers. Havertz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, but scored the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi final victory over Chelsea earlier this month.
The 26 year old has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries limiting him to just 158 Premier League minutes this season, though he has still managed two goals and two assists when available. Viktor Gyokeres has flourished in Havertz’s absence, scoring twice in the 4-1 North London Derby demolition of Tottenham last weekend.
Rosenior Yet to Face Top Six Opposition
Liam Rosenior faces his first test against a top six side in the league since taking charge of Chelsea, having only faced teams sitting 7th or lower during his opening eight matches. His winning run needs proper context, given the quality of opposition, with recent dropped points against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge exposing serious vulnerabilities.
Arteta has beaten Rosenior twice already this season in the two legged Carabao Cup semi final, and the Spanish manager will fancy his chances of completing a treble over the Chelsea boss. Bukayo Saka should be fit despite limping off late against Spurs, while Ben White remains doubtful with a niggle.
Predicted Lineups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Update Given Following Arsenal Injury Scare as Olivia Smith Discharged From Hospital After Being Stretchered Off During FA Cup Win Over Bristol City
Arsenal star Olivia Smith has been discharged from hospital after being stretchered off the field during their Women’s FA Cup game against Bristol City. The forward, who joined the Gunners in the summer, played just under an hour before being forced off with pictures showing a neck brace around the 21 year old at Meadow Park.
This was a worrying moment for Arsenal supporters watching on Sunday afternoon. The Canadian international went down, receiving lengthy treatment before being taken off on a stretcher as a precaution. Thankfully, the injury appears to be far less serious than initially feared.
Left Hospital Yesterday Evening
According to Arsenal reporter Tim Stillman, Olivia Smith left the hospital yesterday evening after tests were run and will return to be assessed this week ahead of the March international break. This is brilliant news for Arsenal, who cannot afford to lose Smith for any length of time, given her importance to the team.
It is believed that her involvement with Canada is still up in the air, with the Canucks facing a triple header of friendlies against Colombia, Argentina, and the United States over the coming two weeks. Arsenal’s next match sees them face London City Lionesses in mid March.
Big Boost for Champions League Hopes
With no video available for Arsenal’s cup game against Bristol City, there was huge concern surrounding Smith’s condition for those unable to attend the game at Meadow Park. Thankfully, what seemed initially to be a severe injury has turned out to be a fairly minor incident.
While Stina Blackstenius and Alessia Russo are both more than capable options to lead the line, it has been Smith who has been Renee Slegers’ favoured choice and proven to be a brilliant signing since her arrival from Liverpool. Having Smith likely available for both legs of the Chelsea Champions League quarter final is a massive boost for Arsenal’s hopes of retaining their European crown.

Arsenal Star Named WSL Player of the Month for January as Midfielder Continues Outstanding Form Following 400th Appearance Milestone
Kim Little has been named January’s Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Month, recognition that follows her 400th appearance for Arsenal. The captain has made an outstanding start to 2026, completing every minute in the WSL and helping secure two clean sheets and four points from fixtures against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Little drove the midfield against United in the 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium and was again pivotal in the disciplined defensive display at Stamford Bridge that delivered that historic 2-0 win over the Blues. This is absolutely deserved recognition for one of Arsenal’s most influential players, who continues to perform at the highest level despite being 35 years old.
400th Appearance Came in Belgium
Little’s landmark 400th appearance came in Belgium as Arsenal won 4-0 at OH Leuven to close in on a Champions League London derby with Chelsea. The Scottish playmaker came on as a second half substitute in the 82nd minute, replacing Olivia Smith, to reach 400 appearances.
This achievement is even more notable given the time she spent playing in the USA and Australia during her career. Little has become one of the defining figures of the modern Arsenal era, establishing herself as an absolute legend at the club.
Chelsea Awaits in Champions League Quarterfinals
Provided nothing dramatic unfolds at Meadow Park next week, Chelsea awaits in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Arsenal hold a commanding 4-0 advantage from the first leg and are overwhelming favorites to progress to a mouth watering London derby in the last eight.
Little will be central to Arsenal’s hopes of defending their Champions League crown, with the midfielder’s experience and leadership qualities proving invaluable during the knockout stages of major competitions. Her consistent performances continue to set the standard for everyone around her.
