Bye bye Premier League, Harry Kane says goodbye and Tottenham has already signed his replacement

Bombshell in the Premier League: Alejo Véliz is a new footballer for Cuti Romero and Gio Lo Celso's Tottenham. This Thursday, the journalists César Luis Merlo and Fabrizio Romano -two more than reliable sources when it comes to the transfer market- confirmed the sale of the 19-year-old center forward from Rosario Central to the Spurs after having been on the radar of other clubs in Europe like AC Milan or Nottingham Forest.

The '9' has a great physical prowess and he made it noticeable in the Under 20 World Cup with the Argentine National Team, a contest that served as a showcase for him to make himself known on the Old Continent. As if that were not enough, when he returned to the Canalla he continued billing and made it clear that he is a very dangerous attacker in the area. Thus, in a negotiation that did not last too long, the London team closed the transfer before the possible departure of Harry Kane.

It should be remembered that Véliz was on Lionel Scaloni's radar to start taking his first steps in the senior team. Now that he is going to Tottenham, that interest is intensifying and, if he has minutes in the Premier League, it is a fact that we will see him with the blue and white in the Qualifiers sooner rather than later.

How much did Tottenham pay for Alejo Véliz?

As reported by Germán García Grova, the operation was closed in exchange for 17 million euros, plus an additional six in objectives, in a contract that links him to his new club for the next five years. Thus, Alejo joins a list of recent sales from Rosario Central directly to European football in which Facundo Buonanotte (Brighton), Gino Infantino (Fiorentina) or Lautaro Blanco (Elche) also appear.
