‘Lost confidence’ – Loan player set for Tottenham return in January, things not working out

Tottenham Hotspur let Alejo Véliz join Espanyol on loan this summer and his future there remains uncertain.

The forward has four goals from 15 games and his playing time has been limited since the start of November.

On Friday, La Grada Ràdio reported that the Tottenham man is willing to leave the La Liga side in January.

SEAM also states that the 21-year-old’s loan spell may be cut short in the winter market because he has ‘lost confidence’ in Espanyol manager Manolo González. They have to offload some players to make room in their squad and wage bill, to sign new players.

Taking this into account, the Argentina Under-21 international would be the most likely to leave the Spanish club.

A fresh report from La Grada Radio brings the latest on the Tottenham-owned player’s situation. They also say that Espanyol have practically closed the exit of two players, and Véliz is one of them.

It is further claimed that Ange Postecoglou’s side have ‘proposed’ Lucas Bergvall, likely on loan. This is a surprising claim and it is not clear whether the 18-year-old Sweden international would be open to this idea.

Despite being offered Bergvall, Espanyol sporting director Fran Garagarza wants to focus on the Spanish market.

It is not clear whether Bergvall will join Espanyol, but these two reports indicate that Véliz are heading for their exit door.
