Just two games into his Sevilla career, Alejo Veliz has already won over Quique Sanchez Florez, with the Spanish coach singing the on-loan Tottenham striker’s praises.
Veliz will view the next few months at the Andalusian club as an opportunity to show Ange Postecoglou and those at Tottenham that he is ready to perform at the highest level.
The striker went to Sevilla injured and had to wait patiently for his first minutes, which came in the 0-0 draw against Valencia a little over a week ago, with the 20-year-old coming on as a substitute for the final minutes of the game.
He once again started on the bench for Sevilla in their clash at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday before replacing Issac Romero on 75 minutes.
Los Nervionenses put in a disciplined defensive showing but were eventually undone in the 83rd minute, with former Spurs star Luka Modric netting the match-winner for the home side, who emerged 1-0 winners.
Alejo Veliz is impressing over at Sevilla
While Veliz is still waiting for his first start, the striker has seemingly already impressed Sanchez Flores in training.
The Sevilla boss told ABC de Sevilla about the Argentine: “Alejo is brave and attentive. When he goes out (onto the pitch), he knows what he has to do and that leaves me very calm.
“That’s what you’re going to see. A boy who’s generous in his effort with good movements. Powerful.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Based on Sanchez Flores’ words, it would appear that the first start for Veliz is just around the corner. Sevilla have struggled for goals all season and if he can take his opportunity and find the back of the net, he has a great chance of establishing himself as a fixture in the starting eleven.
