‘Come here’ – Tottenham starlet told to join Leicester City and learn from Jamie Vardy

Leicester loan star Facundo Buonanotte wants to see a Tottenham forward join him so they can rekindle their partnership.

The Argentine talent is himself on loan from Brighton, but is keen for his ex-Rosario Central teammate to make the move to the King Power.

Currently, 21-year-old striker Alejo Veliz is on loan at Espanyol from Spurs but only has four goals in 15 appearances.

And just one of those strikes was in LaLiga with his side sitting in the relegation zone with just four wins all season.

That form has led to rumours that his loan deal could be terminated.

Buonanotte, reflecting on their shared experiences on the field, thinks his former teammate would benefit from a loan move to Leicester. They have played together 24 times with Rosario Central and have also shared the pitch once as part of Argentina’s Under-20s.

And he reckons one man in particular could help Veliz reignite his faltering career.

“I would tell Tanque [Alejo] Véliz to come here to learn from Jamie Vardy,” he told Ole.

“He is on loan, but now he is at Tottenham, so I think he knows about this. During the time we were at Central we made a nice duo.”

Veliz joined Tottenham in a deal worth around £13million in August 2023, but struggled for game time.

He scored just once last season in a 4-2 loss to Brighton and after a spell out injured, also had a six-game loan spell with Sevilla.

There he wore the No.10 jersey once worn by Diego Maradona, but in the summer was sent on loan to Espanyol to get his career back on track.

Vardy might just be the man to help given his stunning record in the Premier League.

From non-league beginnings, the Englishman became of the country’s best forwards thanks to his electric pace and powerful finishing.

In total, he’s scored 142 Premier League goals with Leicester and helped them win a historic title in 2015/16.

An underrated part of his game is also his ability to play in teammates.

That has seen him assist in the English top-flight on 47 occasions – one more than England captain Harry Kane.

Leicester are currently 17th in the Premier League and in a real battle to survive the threat of relegation on their return.

The club recently sacked Steve Cooper and replaced him with legendary Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

That could be another tempting prospect for Veliz, especially with Buonanotte as a teammate.
