Manager claims Tottenham striker isn’t good enough in training

Quique Sanchez Flores, the manager of Sevilla, has maintained that Alejo Veliz, who is on loan from Tottenham to the La Liga club, hasn’t performed well enough in training to be starting.

“Alejo is in a very uncomfortable situation because he came to have minutes but he has lost prominence. People like (Dodi) Lukebakio, Lamela or (Lucien) Agoume are the ones on the starting blocks for the titles.

The North London club have high hopes from the
