Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz has been linked with a summer exit from the North London club, and Rosario Central have submitted an offer to him.
According to a report by Direct TV Sports, Alejo Veliz and his former club Rosario Central are now waiting for Tottenham’s response to the possibility of offloading him in the summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether the North London outfit are prepared to sell the 21-year-old in the coming weeks.
The young striker was on loan at La Liga club Espanyol last season, and he does not have a future at Tottenham as things stand. They will not be able to provide him with ample first-team action. It makes sense for them to cash in on the player in the coming weeks.
Spurs exit would be ideal for Veliz
The South American attacker was highly rated during his time at Rosario Central before he joined Tottenham. Returning to his comfort zone could be ideal for the player. He would get to play regularly at the South American club, and it could bring out the best in him. Sitting on the bench at Tottenham is unlikely to benefit him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The player will want to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football. However, recent reports have suggested that Tottenham have ruled out a summer return to Rosario Central for Veliz as they want him to join a European club.
There is no doubt that he is a talented young player with a bright future, and Tottenham will need to make a decision soon. The Lilywhites cannot hope to keep him against his wishes. The player will look to continue his development with regular football next season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
It is no secret that Tottenham need a quality striker. Dominic Solanke had a mixed debut campaign, and he needs more support in the final third. The 21-year-old South American is not ready to lead the line for Tottenham yet, and they should look to target a more established player in the summer. It would be ideal for them to let Veliz leave the club so that they can use the proceeds from his departure to improve the squad. It would be ideal for all parties.
