Veliz excited playing with one senior teammate at Tottenham

Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz is delighted playing with senior teammate Giovani Lo Celso.

Veliz joined Spurs in August from Rosario Central.

"Yes, I truly am," he told SpursPlay, of playing with Lo Celso. "Gio also comes from the club where I'm from, of which I'm also a fan. I honestly believe Gio is also very important for Argentina as a player, so yes, I'm looking forward to that moment."

Veliz admits he's been able to settle quickly for Tottenham's South American contingent.

"The truth is I'm very grateful to them because they welcomed me in the best way," he explained. "They always ask if I needed anything and helped me in whatever they could.

"So, well, that was a great joy because I came to another country, another language. I know I'm not alone because I know they're there to support me."
