Tottenham are busy preparing for a huge game on Sunday against Everton.

There couldn’t be any more at stake with a defeat potentially paving the way for West Ham to leapfrog Spurs and survive relegation at their expense.

If the results go in the way of Tottenham at the weekend, plans will be in place ready for Roberto De Zerbi, hoping to kick the team on next season.

It would appear as though some players will be leaving the club in the summer, and one might be on his way after just a handful of appearances for the club.

Alejo Veliz set to leave Tottenham permanently

Tottenham landed Veliz in August 2023 from Rosario Central and sent him on loan six months later to Sevilla before he eventually joined Espanyol

He failed to impress in La Liga at either club, and ahead of the current campaign, he returned to Rosario, where he’s managed to score six goals in 23 appearances.

Now, according to La Capita, Veliz has said his goodbyes from Rosario, with the player set to sign for Bahia in Brazil.

It will signal the end of a fruitless spell at Tottenham, where he played just eight times, scoring once in a 4-2 defeat against Brighton back in 2023.

It’s believed that Tottenham will rake in around £7 million for the player who Spurs paid around £13 million for, and it would appear he’s struggled to settle outside of South America.

Tottenham will be wise to continue clearing the decks this summer, and then De Zerbi can have some funds available to strengthen the squad ahead of next season.

Hopefully, that will come with Spurs remaining a Premier League club…
