- Tottenham will sign Rosario Central striker Veliz, pending his medical
- Spurs have also completed the signing of Blackburn defender Phillips
- While Van de Ven is set for a medical also, arriving on a £43million deal
Tottenham will sign Rosario Central striker Alejo Veliz, 19, this week pending his medical.
The Argentina U20 international will cost around £12millon plus a 10 percent sell-on and has agreed a five year contract.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side opened up talks for the 19-year-old earlier this week, who was also a target for Nottingham Forest.
However, it is Spurs that have won the race to sign the highly-rated youngster, and the incomings will not stop there.
Furthermore, Tottenham have signed Blackburn defender Ashley Phillips on a five-year deal.
The 18-year-old, will cost £2m and has made 14 first-team appearances for Blackburn.
Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven is also due in London today ahead of having a medical prior to his £43million transfer to Spurs.
While Harry Kane’s future remains in doubt amid interest from Bayern Munich, Spurs have acted quickly to secure reinforcements for
Postecoglou ahead of the new season.
Mailsport revealed that Kane could remain at Spurs this summer, despite only having a year left on his deal, as owner Daniel Levy ignored Bayern Munich’s
deadline for Kane.
It remains to be seen as to what the future holds for the England captain, with Postecoglou keen to focus on the footballing side of things.
