Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Southampton as they look to send Alejo Véliz out on loan to continue his development.
The North London club are looking to ensure they add more quality to their squad before the end of the transfer window. While the priority is to add more firepower to their attack, Spurs also want to ensure that their young stars who might not get enough minutes in the first team during the 2024/25 season are loaned out.
Argentine sensation Alejo Véliz is quite highly rated by the people at the club but he is not yet ready to have a big role in their first team. As a result, Spurs are looking to send him out on a loan spell to ensure he gets enough minutes and continues his development. According to Eduardo Burgos, Tottenham are in talks with Southampton regarding a loan move for the 20-year-old and ‘conversations are going well’.
The Saints are looking to reinforce their attack as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. They feel the South American striker who came up the ranks at Rosario Central could be an ideal fit for their system.
As far as Spurs are concerned, they consider him to be a fundamental part of their long-term plans and have no intentions of letting him leave permanently. They are open to a loan spell but are not entertaining any discussion about an option to buy. Talks between two English clubs are progressing well and the Saints are already in direct contact with Veliz who had spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla.
