I must admit I’m not totally overwhelmed by this one. He is only 19 so I’m hoping he improves.

Alasdair Gold says Alejo Veliz has wowed Tottenham coaches​

Tottenham came out of nowhere and signed Alejo Veliz from Argentinian side Rosario Central in the summer for £13 million (BBC).

Not many had heard of the 20-year-old, but early signs show he is a big talent.

Veliz was sidelined for over a month after his arrival because of his injury. He was included in first-team training last month, and even though Postecoglou publicly claimed he will not play him in the first half of this season, the youngster made his debut against Liverpool last weekend.

Speaking about Postecoglou’s comments and Veliz, Gold revealed on the Gold and Guest podcast that the striker has amazed everyone at Hotspur Way.

He said: “I think that’s a testament to Veliz because from what I understand, he has come into those training sessions after coming back from the injury he arrived with and he’s absolutely wowed them. He’s done really good work in training, and apparently his finishing, especially, is just phenomenal.

“I know the Premier League is a leap, but I do think that maybe he’ll, especially with that big physique, be ready for the Premier League. I mean he is a unit, having stood at pitch-side near and kind of walked by, he is a big lad, he’s just towering over players and coaches.

“Yeah, I think he’s one of those where maybe we see him get a minute or two and he surprises everyone and comes up with it.”
 
The boy is 19 and has never played in Europe, why is anyone surprised at what Ange has said?

He will play for the first team when he’s ready, given his age and background that may be a few months away. Or it may not. We’ll just have to see.
 
Alejo Veliz:

•Most goals scored by a teenager in all South America.
•Most head goals scored by a teenager in all South America.
•Highest % of shots on target in South America.

He's an incredibly powerful finisher, his ball striking abilities are so good, and his heading ability is something else.

He reminds me of a Cavani type of striker, absolutely ruthless in front of goal.

He's not the quickest but his decision making and his runs in behind make makes him a very effective player.

He's not someone that will get involved too much in the buildup, he wants to be in the final third.

He's an animal in the box, his aggressiveness and the way he can attack the ball reminds me of Suarez.

Everything makes me believe he's gonna become the next Argentina's striker.

Extremely exciting player 🇦🇷
