Tottenham have signed Rosario Central forward Alejo Veliz.

Veliz arrives for a fee of euro;15m subject to a work permit. The Argentina U20 international has signed a six-year contract.

The 19 year-old played in both the U20 World Cup and the South American U20 Championship earlier this year.

"Now I'm here, it's like I'm touching the heavens with my hands," Veliz told SPURSPLAY. "When I first found out about everything that was happening and that the club were interested in me, to be honest with you I couldn't believe it. It really didn't sink in until I actually arrived here.

"I'm coming here with a huge desire to do well. I'm totally on board and 100 per cent focused on the task in hand here.

"I'm really pleased and grateful to have my family here with me, they're always with me. And I'm totally fulfilling a dream, coming here today to such a massive club, and I'll be doing my best to grab my opportunity and hopefully everything will go as well as it possibly can."
