TOTTENHAM are interested in Rosario Central and Argentina U20 striker Alejo Veliz, according to reports.
Spurs face the possibility of losing all-time record scorer Harry Kane this summer as he is in talks over a transfer to Bayern Munich.

Ange Postecoglou‘s men have been linked with a host of names as Kane’s potential replacement.
They include Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, Manchester United‘s Anthony Martial and Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
But according to The Mail, they are now exploring the signing of 19-year-old Veliz.
The teenager bagged three goals in four games for Argentina at the U20 World Cup.
That was after he netted 11 times for Rosario last season – taking his overall tally for the club to 19 in 59 games.
Nottingham Forest, AC Milan and Roma have all been linked with a move for the South American – who is thought to have a price tag of around £13million.
But Tottenham have now entered the fray as they look for a more conventional centre forward to improve their attack – which already includes Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison.
Talks are understood to be at an “early stage”, but there is confidence among those at Rosario that a deal can be agreed.

If Veliz does come in and Kane departs, the Argentine will have some huge shoes to fill.
England skipper Kane, 30, has contributed 280 goals and 64 assists in 435 games for the North London outfit.
But he is poised to join Bayern in an attempt to win trophies having failed to secure any silverware at Spurs.
