Fiorentina are preparing an offer for the services of Tottenham attacking sensation Alejo Veliz.

The North London club are expected to be quite busy in the final few weeks of the transfer window. While they are expected to make some big-name signings before the end of the window, quite a few of their players will also be on the move. According to Rudy Galetti, Alejo Veliz is on the wishlist of Italian club Fiorentina and they could soon knock on Tottenham’s door with an offer.

Veliz came up the ranks at Rosario Central and made quite a name for himself while playing for their first team before securing a move to Spurs last summer. While he was around for the first half of the season, Tottenham sent him out on loan to Sevilla for the second half. Unfortunately, the loan spell didn’t really go according to plan as he only made six substitute appearances.

While the 20-year-old Argentine striker is back at his parent club, he is unlikely to get much game time at Spurs and there is interest in his services from Fiorentina. The Italian club wants to add more firepower to their attack and they feel Veliz could be an ideal fit for their system. They are preparing to send an offer to Tottenham for the Argentine youth international and Galetti believes there could be major developments in this story in the coming days.

While Spurs consider Veliz to be a part of their long-term plans, they are reportedly open to another loan move in order to ensure he gets enough minutes to continue his development.
