"Tottenham Hotspur striker Alejo Veliz could become part of City Football Group by the end of the transfer window, according to a report. Spurs signed 22-year-old Veliz from Rosario Central in August 2023. He went on to feature in eight Premier League matches, scoring once, before loan spells with Sevilla and Espanyol in Spain. Last July, Spurs sent the Argentina Under-20 international back to Rosario on a season-long loan."
"Veliz attracted the attention of the north London club with 17 goals in 53 top-flight appearances in Argentina but was unable to establish himself under former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou. He scored once in his two loans to La Liga, where he played for Sevilla and then Espanyol in a total of 20 league games. Remaining in South America and playing under the auspices of City Football Group could open some doors for Veliz and help him to establish himself with regular first team football."
Alejo Veliz joined Tottenham from Rosario Central in August 2023 and made eight Premier League appearances, scoring once. He spent loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol before returning to Rosario on a season-long loan last July. Brazilian club Bahia, majority-owned by City Football Group, is in advanced negotiations to sign Veliz and an agreement in principle with Tottenham has been reached. Tottenham is expected to try to terminate the remaining six months of his loan to complete the transfer. Veliz scored 17 goals in 53 top-flight Argentine appearances but struggled for consistent minutes in Europe; a move within City Football Group could provide regular first-team football.
