Alejo Veliz to join Espanyol from Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur striker Alejo Veliz is on the verge of joining Espanyol in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano. The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that Veliz will move to La Liga club Espanyol on loan for next season from Premier League outfit Tottenham.

Romano wrote on X: “Tottenham are signing all docs for Alejo Véliz to join Espanyol on loan, NO buy option clause included. Back at Spurs in June.  

“Next up: direct contact with AC Milan to seal Emerson Royal deal for €15m fee plus add-ons, almost there.”

Veliz joined Tottenham from Rosario Central in the summer of 2024. The 20-year-old striker moved to Spanish club Sevilla on a loan deal in the January transfer window and returned to the North London side at the end of last season. During his loan spell at the Spanish club, Veliz made six substitute appearances in La Liga.
