However, recent reports have emerged suggesting that Tottenham have different plans. The club is reportedly keen on having Véliz be a part of the squad from the start of the upcoming season.
The signing of Alejo Véliz raises intriguing questions about how he fits into the squad’s dynamic. Could he potentially be the understudy to Richarlison, assuming Harry Kane‘s departure? – The decision to retain him for the season’s beginning hints at the possibility of him being more than just a backup. It’s a bold move that showcases Tottenham’s eagerness to integrate him into the first team immediately.
