Sevilla manager Quique Sanchez Flores has no interest in playing Tottenham Hotspur loanee Alejo Veliz.
The Argentine joined Spurs in the summer, but was sent out on loan in January to play more regular football.
But it seems a major spanner has been put in the works over in Spain with the 20-year-old enduring the same issues.
Alejo Veliz loan latest
Having signed for Sevilla on a short term loan deal, Alejo Veliz needed a little bit of time to recover from an injury he carried over from Spurs.
He has now returned to the fold, but has only been handed a mere 23 minutes of football across three La Liga appearances.
And now, Spanish outlet ABC are claiming the Sevilla manager does not consider Veliz to be in his plans.
Veliz’s loan to Sevilla was just a straight temporary deal with Sevilla having no option to make his stay permanent; not that that seems to matter.
Alejo Veliz future at Tottenham
There are a lot of question marks surrounding Tottenham’s move for the Argentine who is yet to really make any impression on Ange Postecoglou.
The 20-year-old did not manage too many more minutes in a Spurs shirt, but he was able to find the back of the net in 42 minutes of cameo displays.
Recruitment since Postecoglou’s appointment has been fairly impressive so far with players like Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario and Radu Dragusin signed.
It has to be said, though, Veliz is looking to be somewhat of an anomaly from the summer business.
Spurs have a number of promising young strikers who have come through their own academy, signing an unproven 20-year-old from Argentina was an odd move.
Even putting Dane Scarlett aside, Postecoglou could look towards the likes of Will Lankshear and Jude Soonsup-Bell from their youth sides if he needed more options.
It looks like Veliz is going to return to Hotspur Way having barely played in Spain, so questions will be asked of what next for the youngster.
