Tottenham Hotspur’s highly regarded centre forward Alejo Veliz has been urged to move to Premier League side Leicester City by Brighton maestro and the Lilywhites target Facundo Buonanotte.
Buonanotte has been playing some impressive football for the Foxes in the ongoing 2024/25 campaign, which he is spending at King Power on loan from the Seagulls. And he has asked Veliz to join him at Leicester given the Argentine’s struggles at Espanyol.

Veliz is on loan at the La Liga side for the campaign; however, he is struggling to find some regular football under his belt, and the North Londoners are considering recalling the player in the upcoming winter transfer window.
And Buonanotte insists that he can move to Leicester City for further development and could learn a lot from legendary striker Jamie Vardy. Vardy is undoubtedly one of the best players in the Premier League’s modern era, and the Spurs starlet could learn a lot sharing the dressing room with him.
Speaking via Ole, Buonanotte said:
“I would tell Tanque [Alejo] Véliz to come here to learn from Jamie Vardy. 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.”
Véliz has only netted four goals in 15 appearances for his temporary employers, and the Argentine will need to explore a possible destination where he can score a few goals to get the lost confidence back.
Is Leicester City the right destination to do so? Premier League experience is always gold, but it is doubtful how much game time he will see coming his way at King Power. We will see what Daniel Levy thinks about it in the coming weeks.
