Tottenham’s promising young talent, Alejo Veliz, has been given the green light to return to the North London club from his loan spell at Sevilla, according to reports from ABC Sevilla (via Sport Witness).
The striker was absent from the latest training session with the Spanish side, with the reportd indicating his departure for England to address undisclosed bureaucratic matters alongside representatives from Tottenham.
While Sevilla manager, Quique Sanchez Flores, included several youth players in the team’s recent training sessions, Veliz was notably absent, having been granted permission to return to his parent club.
The exact nature of the bureaucratic issue prompting his return is not reported, but it seems to have necessitated his immediate departure from Sevilla.
Sevilla’s treatment of Alejo Veliz
Veliz’s loan spell at Sevilla, intended to aid in his development, has been marred by a lack of playing time.
Since his arrival in January, the Argentinean striker has made just three appearances, all from the bench, accumulating a mere 23 minutes of game time.
This disappointing lack of opportunity has led to criticism of Sevilla’s handling of the young player, with former Tottenham scout Bryan King calling for an end to the loan deal and Veliz’s return to Spurs.
Tottenham looking for a new club for Alejo Veliz
In response to Veliz’s struggles at Sevilla, Tottenham are actively seeking a new loan destination for the promising forward for the upcoming season.
Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Spurs are formulating a new loan move with a different plan in mind for Veliz’s development.
Regardless of the outcome, it is understood that Veliz will be returning to Tottenham from Sevilla, with discussions regarding his future set to take place in the coming months.
He shared on X:
“Tottenham are preparing new loan with different plan for Alejo Véliz for next season as he’s not playing at Sevilla.”
“Spurs want guaranteed game time for Alejo for next year as discussions will follow in the upcoming months.”
“Véliz, set to return from Sevilla in any case.”
