Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Rosario Central forward Alejo Veliz.

The North Londoners have enjoyed a productive period in the transfer market, converting two loan deals into permanent stays and acquiring four other players for head coach Ange Postecoglou.

Earlier on Tuesday, Spurs announced that they had strengthened their backline with the addition of Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven.

Just hours after revealing the arrival of the Netherlands Under-21 international, the Premier League outfit have said that Veliz has become their latest new acquisition.

While a transfer fee has not been revealed, it has been widely reported that Spurs are paying in the region of £13m for the Argentine, who has penned a contract until 2029.

With Spurs also acknowledging that the 19-year-old has taken the number 36 shirt, the expectation is that he will remain in the first-team squad for the upcoming campaign.

Veliz arrives at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as one of the most highly-regarded prospects in his homeland having scored 19 goals in 62 games for Rosario Central.

As many as 11 of those strikes came during 23 appearances during the current campaign, helping Veliz earn further recognition with his nation's Under-20 side.

At the recent World Cup, Velez chipped in with three goals from four appearances before Argentina were eliminated at the last-16 stage by Nigeria.

Veliz is now in a position where he will provide competition for Harry Kane at a time when the club's all-time leading goalscorer is being heavily linked with Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga champions failed with their latest approach for the 30-year-old, although the England international is said to want a resolution either way before Spurs begin their campaign against Brentford on Sunday.

Son Heung-min and Richarlison will also compete with Veliz for a place in the final third, the likelihood begin that he will initially mix time as a substitute with action in the Under-21s setup.

Veliz is not expected to be part of the squad that features in a friendly against Barcelona at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
