With many players out on loan this season gaining first-team experience, Spurs fans will be glad to see that one youngster in particular has made a stunning start to his life with his new team, and has even been nominated for an award in La Liga.
Alejo Veliz has had little chance to get going at Spurs since joining last summer. He had to make do with bit-part appearances under Ange Postecoglou before a big injury hampered his progress.
A frustrating loan spell at Sevilla followed in the second half of the campaign, but things are now looking up for the Argentinian striker.
He joined Espanyol on loan for the 2024/25 campaign, and has got things off to a good start over in Spain this time around. Veliz scored his first goal for the La Liga club at the weekend, with a last-minute winner over Rayo Vallecano.
Now, he’s been nominated for the La Liga Under 23 Player of the Month award. He is joined by Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, Atletico Madrid’s Pablo Barrios, Getafe’s Christantus Uche, and Valladolid’s Raul Moro.
Voting for the award closes on Sunday, September 8.
Spanish football expert, Graham Hunter, has been raving about Veliz of late. He told Premier Sports that Veliz has great potential to become a top centre-forward, and backed him to score 15 goals this season.
Veliz has overcome what he described as a tough year (via Futbol en Movistar Plus+), and declared how happy he was that he is now being given the chance to prove himself.

I was buzzing for Veliz to get his first goal for Espanyol the other day, and I’m sure he can get many more this season.
He’s looking good out there in Spain, and I really hope he has a successful campaign and can come back to Spurs ready to kick on with the first-team.
