Versatility is key, says Milos

Milos Veljkovic believes his ability to play in more than one position can be beneficial to both himself and the Club.

The Serbian youth international was sometimes utilised at centre-half when playing for our Development Squad over the course of the recently-concluded campaign.

But it was his endeavours in central midfield that earned him his top flight debut towards the end of the season, the 18-year-old going on as a substitute in our wins against Sunderland and Aston Villa after a string of impressive showings in the Barclays Under-21 Premier League.

“I’ve always seen myself as a defensive midfielder,” the Switzerland-born youngster explained. “But I’ve played centre-back loads of times and I think it’s good to play both positions.

“You can then have more opportunities to play. You can be put onto the pitch in different positions and perhaps it gives you a better chance.”
