It has now been shown to Tottenham that they possess a young player who can compete with any of the top forwards in Europe.
Spurs have made a significant effort to sign some of the most gifted prospects available, as evidenced by the signings of Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Micky van de Ven in N17.
Back in August, Tottenham signed a player who was deemed to have an even better talent than the previous one.
Tottenham have a talent on par with Julian Alvarez
Milan News questioned football agent Filippo Colasanto about the young players he thought were the greatest to come out of Argentina recently.
The Italian retorted, listing Alejo Veliz of Tottenham and Julian Alvarez of Manchester City as two Argentines he would have signed with closed eyes.
“If I had to choose, I would have taken Alejo Veliz, who ended up at Tottenham, just as I would have chosen Julian Alvarez without giving it much thought two years ago,” Colasanto stated. Alvarez was acquired by Manchester City for a meager £14 million from River Plate back in January 2022.
The CIES Football Observatory has valued the Argentina international at a staggering €150 million (£128 million) following his victory in the 2022 World Cup and seventh place finish in the Ballon d’Or rankings.

Veliz was acquired by Tottenham for a comparable sum in August after a £13 million deal with Rosario Central.
The 20-year-old was sent on loan to Sevilla in January in order to further his development, even though he has already scored a Premier League goal for Spurs.
Spurs are unhappy with Alejo Veliz’s circumstances.
According to a report from the Spanish news source AS, Tottenham is upset with Sevilla’s treatment of the South American player, who was promised a significant amount of playing time by the Spurs.
Veliz has only played 23 minutes of football in three La Liga games as of the time this article was written. Diario de Sevilla, another Spanish news source, reports that Victor Orta, Sevilla’s director of football, is even under criticism for taking the Argentina U20 international on loan.
Veliz surely has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Alvarez, even though his progress seems to be stalling during this awful loan at Sevilla.
