Report: Fiorentina are interested in signing Tottenham striker this summer
Journalist Uriel Lugt has revealed that Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz has now emerged as a target for Fiorentina ahead of the new season.
What next for Alejo Veliz?
There is plenty of excitement about Veliz’s potential at Spurs, and back in his native Argentina, but the striker’s first season in Europe did not go according to plan.
The centre-forward would have hoped to catch Ange Postecoglou’s eye when he made the loan move to Sevilla in January but his spell at the La Liga club proved to be a disaster.
In fact, Veliz only ended up playing a total of 31 La Liga minutes across six cameos, which is far from what Tottenham would have expected when they sent him to Spain (TransferMarkt).
Fiorentina are interested in Alejo Veliz
It has now emerged that the 20-year-old may have a chance to move to Italy, with Lugt taking to social media to reveal that Fiorentina are pushing ahead with a move for the striker.
The journalist does not make it clear whether the Viola are looking to sign Veliz on loan or in a permanent deal.
However, he adds that an offer could arrive for the Spurs striker from Raffaele Palladino’s men over the next few days.
Spurs Web Opinion
After Veliz’s struggles at Seville, Tottenham will be wary of sending him to a big club as the last thing they would want is for the striker to warm the bench again during the upcoming season.
I would not be surprised if Spurs decided to loan the 20-year-old to a Championship club.
