Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed they have completed the signing of striker Alejo Veliz from Rosario Central, subject to international clearance and a work permit.
The 19-year-old forward has moved to North London in a deal worth £13million to the South American club and has signed a six-year contract (Daily Mail).
Veliz has scored 19 goals in 59 appearances for Rosario and also caught the eye when on international duty with Argentina at the U20 World Cup, where he scored three goals in four matches and had also been linked with moves to Nottingham Forest and AC Milan.

Tottenham confirm signing of Alejo Veliz
He is expected to remain at Tottenham this summer, despite his former club having requested to take him back on loan for the remainder of their season and is considered to be a top talent for the future (Evening Standard).
Veliz becomes the eighth signing of the summer after James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, Manor Solomon, Ashley Phillips, Micky Van de Ven, and Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro’s permanent deals.
SpursWeb Opinion
Tottenham have an abundance of young attacking talent and it will be interesting to see where Veliz slots into the pecking order alongside the likes of Dane Scarlett and Troy Parrott.
Hopefully, Veliz can get some minutes under his belt at least in the coming months, but a loan move in January may be what’s needed in order to help him adapt to the demands of football in England.
