‘He’s been impatient’ – Ange Postecoglou provides update on Spurs super star.
Alejo Veliz participated in a Tottenham Hotspur first-team training session for the first time yesterday after joining the squad earlier this summer, according to Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham is thought to have paid a fee in the neighborhood of £12 million for Veliz to join Ange Postecoglou’s team after he made 62 appearances and scored 19 goals across all competitions for Rosario since his debut in 2021 (Daily Mail).
In a press conference today before the Premier League match against Sheffield United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow afternoon, Postecoglou explained that the striker, who turns 20 next week, has been injured and has had a delayed start to life at Tottenham.
