Tottenham Hotspur summer signing Alejo Veliz is set to experience his first north London derby today.
The 20-year-old is yet to feature for Tottenham’s senior side, but he has played for the U21s recently and was in training this week in preparation for the trip to Arsenal.
It remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou will name Alejo Veliz in his matchday squad, with the highly-rated striker taking to his Instagram story to write: ‘One step at a time’, with the caption in response to Tottenham’s ‘final preparations for the NLD’.
Alejo Veliz arrived at Hotspur Way as an unknown figure from Argentina this summer, with the hope that he can transform into a household name at Spurs.
Well, he couldn’t have arrived at a better time because, unlike in previous seasons, this Spurs side is now paying on the front foot and under a coach who wants to develop young talent.
That should be music to the ears of Alejo Veliz because there is a massive number nine void that needs filling – Harry Kane has shared his prediction for the north London derby.
Arsenal v Tottenham
It’s the small matter of two London giants trading blows at the Emirates in a few hours’ time, with unbeaten records on the line.
Arsenal and Spurs have made outstanding starts to the new season, but this is the duo’s biggest test of the campaign so far.
Tottenham’s record away from home in NLD isn’t great, but with the front-foot nature in which Ange Postecoglou has this team playing, then this is one of the best chances for them to pick up that all-important win.
