“Things Doesnt look good for him at Spurs, best decision for him”- Spurs Insider reveals frustrated Tottenham forward is pushing hard to leave on loan amid frustrating pre-season development
John Wenham Predicts Loan Move for Tottenham Forward Alejo Véliz
John Wenham, owner of the highly regarded Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, has expressed his belief that Tottenham’s young forward, Alejo Véliz, will be sent out on a season-long loan. Wenham is puzzled by the inclusion of the 20-year-old in Tottenham’s pre-season matches so far.
Véliz made appearances in the second half of pre-season friendlies against Hearts and QPR. However, Wenham, in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, voiced his preference for those minutes to be allocated to another young prospect, Will Lankshear.
“I’ve been a little bit frustrated seeing Lankshear replaced by Véliz during pre-season matches,” Wenham said. “It is pretty obvious that Véliz is going to leave Tottenham on loan this summer. Therefore, the fact that he will be going out on loan, I don’t understand why he is taking up pre-season minutes. Lankshear shouldn’t have to share his minutes with Véliz. I want to see him play more frequently during this pre-season tour.”
Alejo Véliz to Leave Tottenham on Loan?
Alejo Véliz has somewhat faded into the background at Tottenham. The club invested significantly to bring the young forward to the Premier League, securing his transfer from Rosario Central for £13 million, as reported by BBC Sport on August 8. Given this substantial investment, the club must carefully manage his development and make strategic decisions about his playing time.
The decision to loan out Véliz is seen as a way to ensure he gets regular first-team football, which might not be possible at Tottenham this season. A loan move could provide him with the necessary experience and playing time to develop further and return as a more seasoned player ready to contribute to the first team.
Wenham’s comments highlight the internal challenges clubs face in balancing the development of young talents with the immediate needs of the team. While Lankshear also seeks to prove himself, the allocation of playing time during pre-season is crucial for young players aiming to break into the first team.
As the pre-season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Tottenham manages these young prospects and whether Véliz indeed secures a loan move to gain valuable experience elsewhere. The club’s handling of Véliz’s situation will be crucial in determining his future at Tottenham and ensuring their investment pays off in the long run.
