Tottenham have just launched bid for 6ft 2inch striker, he’s ‘dynamite’

Tottenham Hotspur have just launched a bid for young forward Alejo Veliz.

Journalist Cesar Luis Merlo has provided an update on Tottenham’s pursuit of the teenager.

Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that the centre-forward position is the easiest selection decision he has to make next season.

Harry Kane is one of the Premier League’s best players and should be the first name on the team sheet.

However, it’s impossible to ignore the speculation surrounding his future right now.

Bayern Munich are desperate to sign the 30-year-old to improve their chances of winning the Champions League.

Kane only has one year left on his contract which is encouraging interest in England’s all-time top scorer.

Daniel Levy is holding firm and demanding a huge fee for the striker if he is to go this summer.

Tottenham need to prepare for the awful eventuality that he might leave though and have made a bid for Alejo Veliz.

The 6ft 2in striker currently plays for Rosario Central in the Argentinian top flight.

He’s unlikely to be a first-team option at Spurs straight away, but learning from Kane would be the perfect education for the teenager.

Posting on Twitter, Merlo said: “Tottenham Hotspur advance to keep striker Alejo Véliz: Rosario Central already has a formal offer to buy the 19-year-old striker.

“The intention of the “Canalla” is, in case he is transferred, that he stay until the end of the year.”

The fact that Veliz would stay in Argentina until the end of the year makes sense as he would be unlikely to play any minutes immediately at Spurs.

Journalist and scout Antonio Mango described the forward as ‘dynamite’ and his explosiveness could make him the perfect Postecoglou forward.

The Australian loves having a centre-forward that stays on the last man and finishes every chance he gets in the box.

It’s why Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi thrived in his system at Celtic.

Richarlison would be the obvious replacement for Kane should he move on this summer and also fits this mould.

A bid for Veliz suggests Tottenham are planning for the future, whether that’s with or without Kane.

Their transfer policy has seen them look towards youth in other areas too, with a teenage centre-back potentially arriving in North London shortly.

Report: Spurs sign ‘complete’ £50m forward as he’s homegrown and an ‘investment for the future’

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to forward Brennan Johnson this summer transfer window and a report has shared the details as to why they want to sign him.

It has been reported by The Athletic that Tottenham would like to sign Johnson this summer as they continue their rebuild ahead of next season.

Now, a new report from The Athletic has detailed the reasons as to why they are fancying signing Johnson.

Apparently, Spurs are wanting him due to the fact that he is a homegrown player and also due to the fact that he is ‘an investment for the future’.

The fact that he is homegrown is a ‘significant lure’ for Spurs and apparently even more so if Harry Kane leaves this summer.

Spurs want to sign Brennan Johnson

The ‘complete‘ forward enjoyed his first Premier League campaign last season as he managed eight goals. The 22 year-old looks to have top potential.

If Spurs do desperately want him then they are going to have to pay a big price for the Welsh international this summer.

Reports claim that Nottingham Forest want around £50million for the forward should they allow him to leave during the transfer window.

With so much happening at Spurs this summer, it is no shock to see them look to top talent who can also be a future investement.

Johnson would definitely add some good depth to the Spurs squad and could be a player for many seasons should he join.

Despite his quality, £50million seems very steep for a forward who has only played one season of top-flight football. It may be best to wait to see if he can be consistent.
