Tottenham Hotspur currently finds itself grappling with a notable scarcity of senior strikers, a situation that has become more pronounced following the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window. Although Heung-min Son and Timo Werner have showcased their versatility by occasionally filling the role of a number nine, Richarlison stands out as the primary senior center-forward in Ange Postecoglou’s squad at N17.
This lack of experienced strikers has prompted manager Ange Postecoglou to provide opportunities for emerging talents like Alejo Veliz and Dane Scarlett during the latter stages of matches. Veliz, in particular, demonstrated his potential by scoring off the bench in a closely contested game against Brighton, even though the team ultimately suffered a 4-2 defeat. Unfortunately, Veliz sustained an injury just days later in a match against Bournemouth.
Initial reports from The Evening Standard suggested that Veliz was not anticipated to return to action until March, and he was spotted leaving the stadium on crutches following the injury. However, a recent and promising development has sparked optimism for Tottenham’s striking options. Veliz shared a video showcasing his on-pitch training session, hinting at the possibility of an early recovery. Such a turnaround would undoubtedly provide a significant boost for Tottenham as they navigate the challenges of the season with limited choices in the striking department.
