Alejo Veliz, a summer transfer for Tottenham Hotspur, will play in his first north London derby today.
The 20-year-old is yet to make an appearance for Tottenham’s senior team, but he has recently played for the U21s and was in training this week in preparation for the trip to Arsenal.
It remains to be seen whether.
will designate Alejo Veliz to his matchday squad, with the highly-rated striker taking to Instagram to write: ‘One step at a time,’ in reaction to Tottenham’s ‘last preparations for the NLD’.
Alejo Veliz arrived at Hotspur Way this summer as an obscure person from Argentina, hoping to become a household name at Spurs.
Well, he couldn’t have come at a better moment since, unlike in previous seasons, this Spurs team is now playing on the front foot and under a coach who is interested in developing new talent.
That should be music to Alejo Veliz’s ears, since there is a huge number nine vacuum that has to be filled – Harry Kane has offered his prediction for the north London derby.
Tottenham vs. Arsenal
It comes down to two London titans trading punches at the Emirates in a few hours, with unbeaten records on the line.
Arsenal and Tottenham have had strong beginnings to the season, but this will be their toughest test yet.
Tottenham’s NLD away record isn’t terrific, but with Ange Postecoglou’s squad playing on the front foot, this is one of the finest possibilities for them to pick up that all-important win.
