Tottenham receive surprise enquiry from Flamengo to sign starlet who is already on loan

Flamengo have emerged as a surprise suitor for a Tottenham youngster, with early contact made over a potential move that could prove far from straightforward.

During the last summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur secured a loan move for Alejo Veliz to his hometown club Rosario Central, as they looked to get him more game time.

The Argentine has previously had spells in Europe, but those periods were underwhelming, and, since heading back to where it all began, Veliz appears to be finding some form.
