Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has welcomed their two new additions made on Tuesday.

Micky van de Ven and Alejo Veliz have arrived from Wolfsburg and Rosario Central respectively.

After the Joan Gamper Trophy defeat at Barcelona, Postecoglou said: "We're really pleased to get them into the squad. Micky van de Ven we've been on to for a while. Just great profile for a centre-back particularly for the way we want to play. Physically he's quite commanding and he's got a real presence about him. He's a left-sided centre-back which helps in the structure of the team.

"Really ambitious young man. He's only had a year in the Bundesliga. He was at Volendam before that. It's not like he was at a big club before that. He's making strides and hopefully this jump is another one with which we see him really develop.

"For us, he's one not just for this year but for the long term that we felt can become a really important part of our team and will be a really excellent defender for us.

"With young Veliz, he's one we identified and he's got a lot of talent for a youngster. He's got a great profile. He's a big guy but he's very mobile and he works hard. He's already made an impact in the Argentine first division and again good to have him in."
