A pundit suggests that Tottenham could potentially trade 2023 signing Alejo Veliz in order to acquire a £50 million striker for Ange Postecoglou this summer.
Spurs looking for Harry Kane replacement
After a successful first full season without Harry Kane, who departed for Bayern Munich in a blockbuster deal last summer, Tottenham has been exploring options to fill the void left by their club-record goalscorer.
His club could be forced to a deal with Daniel Levy.
Tottenham has managed well without Kane, with Son Heung-min and Richarlison stepping up to deliver goals and keep the team in contention for a top-four finish and potential Champions League qualification.

Looking ahead, Postecoglou is reportedly planning to bring in a new striker to fully replace Kane, with players like Mohamed Amoura, Santiago Gimenez, Ivan Toney, Alexander Isak, and Dominic Solanke being linked with potential moves to Tottenham.
As Tottenham seeks to strengthen their squad in various areas while adhering to PSR rules, they must carefully consider their options for acquiring a new forward. Top goalscorers come at a high price, so strategic negotiations with other clubs will be crucial.
Pundit John Wenham has suggested that using Veliz as part of a swap deal could be a viable strategy for Tottenham to secure a new striker, such as Solanke.

Viliz, signed from Rosario Central by Postecoglou, has been on loan at Sevilla and could potentially be part of a deal to bring Solanke to Tottenham, according to Wenham.
Solanke, valued at £50 million, has had an impressive season, making him a sought-after striker in the market.
