Tottenham Hotspur fans may have forgotten about Alejo Veliz with the young striker out on loan at Espanyol this season, but his move to Spain could bring extra rewards for the club.

In his first year with Spurs, the Argentinian striker had to be very patient when waiting for opportunities with the first-team. Then, when he got his first goal, he picked up a severe injury shortly after.

A loan spell with Sevilla in the second half of last season proved to be rather fruitless for all parties, but he's making a fresh start of it this year.

Veliz has appeared in all ten of Espanyol's games this term, and has scored one goal for the La Liga side.

But, first-team experience for one of their promising youngsters is not the only thing Spurs are gaining from this agreement.

That's the opinion of La Razon, who claim the "attractive" form Puado has been in has not gone unnoticed by Spurs when they have been scouting Veliz this season.

Tottenham are known to be "closely following" Veliz and it is suspected they could be lining up a move for Puado in the near future, too, as his contract expires next summer.
