Happy that we've made another signing... But would still quite like a centre back!

  "Veliz doesn't contribute much off the ball, noted in that he averaged just 15.6 passes and 0.6 key passes per 90 this campaign, yet when presented with the chances to hit the back of the net, the Argentine is lethal. "
  
  Given the amount of chances we've generated in the pre-season games (I know, I know, it's only pre-season), his "lethal" finishing could be just what the doctor ordered. 😋

  His heatmap would suggest he does more outside of the box and between the lines (like Kane) than this article suggests. Compare his heatmap with Haaland's for example. Haaland doesn't generate much data outside the box, but this kid has a similar heatmap to Kane and Vlahovic.

Hopefully this turns out like Alvaraz has for Man city
