Veliz is back in his native Argentina, on loan at Rosario Central, the club from which Spurs signed him in the summer of 2023. The 22-year-old striker was among world football’s most in-demand teenagers at the time having caught the eye with three goals at the Under 20 World Cup finals in Argentina. But his career has not progressed as hoped in London. He has scored once, in a defeat at Brighton in two years ago, one of only eight Premier League appearances, all made from the bench. Ange Postecoglou and the technical staff decided to send him on loan to Seville for the second half of his first season in Europe and he returned to Spain for the whole of last season on loan at Espanyol. Tottenham misfit Alejo Veliz, on loan at Rosario Central, is wanted by Brazilian club Bahia The goals have started to flow for him once again since moving back to Rosario and attracted interest from Bahia, which has been part of the City Football Group for the last three years. Spurs are interested in a deal. They are in the process of what is shaping up like a mid-season exodus as if clearing the decks for a recruitment drive. Veliz has three more years on his contract but no future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
