Tottenham’s 20y/o gem excels to hand Ange Postecoglou another selection headache ahead of Chelsea

Tottenham’s summer signing Alejo Veliz bagged his first goal since joining from Rosario Central in the summer but Spurs’ Under-21 side lost 3-1 to Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy.

The Argentine striker has been tipped to be one of the best forwards in Europe by those who have watched from his early days. Tottenham have been great with these kind of signings having seen the form of players like Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr , both have been key to the team’s success under Ange Postecoglou.

The 20-year-old has been in and around the first team and made cameos in a couple of games including the Liverpool and Fulham games but was an unused substitute as Spurs battled to a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace that kept them to pf the table.

Veliz goal though now gives manager Ange Postecoglou something to think about as he is the only striker who offers the physicality that is sometimes needed when you play against top teams in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites have been brilliant under manager Ange Postecoglou who is yet to lose a home game in more than 45 matches even though that record will be firmly tested when they welcome Chelsea to north London on Monday night.

Everyone seems to be pulling in the same direction and that is credit to the manager who arrived from Celtic having won the league. Ange Postecoglou arrived at north London with relative ease and little fuss with many thinking that he would take a while before getting the team to gel.

Tottenham have already beaten Manchester United and Liverpool and it will be interesting to see how they measure up against Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
