Tottenham have confirmed the signing of striker Alejo Veliz from Rosario Central in a move believed to be worth around £12million. 

The 19-year-old has agreed a five-year contract and the transfer includes a 10 per cent sell-on clause.

He is Ange Postecoglou’s second signing of the day after defender Micky van de Ven, who completed his £43m move from Wolfsburg earlier. 

Part of the Argentina U20 team, Veliz was also a target for Nottingham Forest, but it is Spurs who have secured his services after opening talks last week. 

The young forward broke into Rosario Central’s team in 2021 and has gone from strength to strength since, bagging 11 goals in 23 outings this season.
