Tottenham have opened talks over Rosario Central striker Alejo Veliz.
The Argentina U20 international has been a target for Nottingham Forest, Roma and AC Milan in recent weeks with Rosario looking for £13million.
Veliz scored three goals in four matches for Argentina during the U20 World Cup and caught the attention of European scouts with his work ethic and dogged all action style.
The 6ft 2ins centre forward is only 19 but has scored 19 goals in 59 appearances for Rosario with 11 coming last season.
Tottenham want a striker who can lead the line but bring pace as they prepare to lose Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
