More of the remaining eight Tottenham Hotspur players out on loan have come to the end of their season away from the north London club
Another handful of Tottenham's remaining group of loan players came to the end of their campaigns out of north London while for others big prizes could still await.
Relegation-threatened Spurs originally sent out a huge group of 18 players, younger and older, on loan to clubs across the world with a chunk of them having since concluded their seasons in the Football League. However, those playing for their loan clubs in Scotland, Germany, Italy and South America still had a week or two to go.
Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi will be assessing his squad this summer, regardless of what division the club are in next season, and many of those who have been out on loan could force their way into his thoughts if they impress this summer after strong reports from their season away from the north London outfit.
Here's how each of the eight remaining Spurs loan players got on across the planet in the past seven days.
Alejo Veliz (Rosario Central)
Alejo Veliz experienced Copa Libertadores joy with Rosario Central to help deal with Torneo Apertura pain this week.
The 22-year-old somewhat forgotten Spurs striker showed his reactions on Tuesday night to volley home the ball after a team-mate's acrobatic overhead kick hit the post in their Group H game against Venezuela's Universidad Central. Rosario went on to win the game 4-0, with Angel Di Maria also scoring, and that sent Veliz's team through to the round of 16 in the Copa Libertadores.
It was Veliz's 100th game for Central and he received a standing ovation when he left the field in the 72nd minute of the contest. The young striker could be seen to be emotional after the game.
"A dream night, a special night, 100 matches with the club of my life, 100 days filled with so many emotions before stepping onto the pitch wearing this jersey, always trying to give my best and more to leave this institution where it deserves to be, with successes and failures, but always with love, heart, and dedication, as it so often demands," he wrote on Instagram.
"Thank you all for the love, the affection, and for supporting me to give my all on the field. I know there will be many more, and I will continue writing history with my glorious @rosariocentral. Thank you to my family for always being there and helping me fulfill so many dreams; you know how much I love you. And thank you to all my teammates and staff for making each of these 100 days so much better. Onward and upward, always…"
The performance overcame some of the sadness that would have come from Rosario's 1-0 defeat to River Plate on Saturday in the Torneo Apertura play-off semi-final. River Plate will now take on Cristian Romero's boyhood club Belgrano in the final on Sunday, with claims in Argentina that the Spurs captain will be in attendance.
Veliz has netted six goals in 23 appearances so far this campaign and is expected to head to Bahia at the end of the season after Tottenham agreed a deal with the Brazilian side to sell Veliz once his current loan at Rosario ends. A £7.8m (9m euros) deal was agreed with £871k in add-ons (1m euros) plus a 20% sell-on clause.
Luka Vuskovic (Hamburg)
Luka Vuskovic ended his season in Germany with a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga to ensure that HSV only lost one of their final seven games he appeared.
The talented 19-year-old centre-back ended up making 30 appearances, scored six goals, laid on one assist and played 2,652 minutes for the Hamburg outfit and was named in the Bundesliga team of the year.
The Croatian, who will head off this summer to the World Cup, admitted this week that he does not know what his future holds this summer but his heart his torn between the emotional pull of Hamburg and playing regularly for Spurs under Roberto De Zerbi which he said would "be a very good situation for me".
"I'm torn. On the one hand, I’m happy because a lot of what was agreed with Tottenham has worked out in Hamburg. But I am also sad because I would very much like to stay here. It's well known that it is my wish to play for HSV alongside my brother Mario, but in football, you can’t have everything you want. From this summer onwards, I will be a Tottenham player again," Vuskovic was quoted as saying by German media outlet Bild, translated by Sport Witness.
On the prospect of remaining at HSV for another season, he added "I don’t know, I am neither an agent nor a club official. But if there is a chance, I would like to stay. The future will show what happens, but of course, if Tottenham see me as part of their plans, that would also be a very good situation for me. The most important thing for my development is that I play regularly."
The Croatia international has been linked with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and most of the continent's top clubs and admitted that while he is flattered, he is only looking to see what Spurs have to say in the coming months.
"It's of course nice that my name is being linked with such clubs. I also don't know whether everything that is written about me and other clubs is true," he said. "I'm a Tottenham player. We will see what happens in the summer."

Mikey Moore (Rangers)
Mikey Moore also ended his busy loan with Rangers and the 18-year-old delivered a remarkably mature press conference on the eve of the weekend's final day 5-2 win at Falkirk.
Moore admitted at that press conference that he does know yet what comes next for him at Spurs after his year in the Scottish Premiership.
"For me now, it's hard because it's the same as for me last year. A new manager [Thomas Frank] was in at Tottenham and I had to go back in and see what he was saying about me and then see what everyone was doing. To be honest, I think it will be the same sort of process," he said, as reported by Rangers Review.
"There's a new manager at Spurs at the minute and obviously I'm a Spurs player, so we'll have to see what he says about me, what he wants me to do, what the people around me want me to do. I think that's all I can say at the moment. I'm going to go back there and see what the new people say in the building and from there I'll make a decision."
Moore has loved his experience at Rangers and believes it's changed him on a personal level.
"No matter what happens now, this club's been a huge part of what I'm going to become and it's helped me so much. So, for me, no matter what happens, I'm a fan of this club for the rest of my life now. So, it's been a special experience," he said.
"I think, mentally, I've just changed so much as a person. The way I look at stuff now, I think I've realised that every day means something. So, before, maybe I'd have days where I was a bit switched off and I'd come into training and I'm kind of not on it as much as I need to be.
"But if you want to go and win every single game, that's the way we need to be. I think, as a team, we need to learn that as well. So, we need to realise that every day means something and it's a chance to improve. So, for me, that's been the biggest learning point for me."
Moore grabbed a final day assist at Falkirk to sign off a season in which he won the PFA Scotland Premiership Young Player of the Year award and Rangers' own Young Player of the Year prize.
The teenager played a whopping 47 games for Rangers, getting 2,778 minutes of football to his name, with 11 goal involvements and became a big favourite with the fans of the Glaswegian giants.
Dane Scarlett (Hibernian)
Dane Scarlett ended his time at Hibernian with 31 minutes on the pitch as they lost their final Scottish Premiership game of the season at home 1-0 to Motherwell.
Scarlett had netted a late winner against Spurs team-mate Moore's Rangers at Ibrox on Wednesday night but was unable to add to that goal at the weekend.
The 21-year-old striker made 13 appearances north of the border with one goal and one assist and 515 minutes under his belt.
Kota Takai (Borussia Monchengladbach)
Kota Takai ended his time at Borussia Monchengladbach in the way most of the past two months have gone for him, as an unused substitute in the 4-0 home win against Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The 21-year-old Japan international played just four minutes of football since February after picking up a muscle strain and struggling to get back in the team.
Takai made only eight appearances during his loan spell in the Bundesliga, having endured an injury-hit time since arriving in Europe at Tottenham last summer.
Manor Solomon (Fiorentina)
Manor Solomon grabbed an assist against Juventus in Fiorentina's 2-0 win at Juventus on Sunday
The 26-year-old cut inside from the left wing and played a perfect ball through to Cher Ndour to open the scoring 34 minutes into the Serie A contest. Fiorentina had Luca Ranieri sent off with 18 minutes to go but scored again in the 83rd minute through Rolando Mandragora.
It was Solomon's fourth 90 minute stint in a row after returning to full fitness following a hip flexor injury and his form might just lure Fiorentina supremo and former Spurs man Fabio Paratici into discussing a cut price deal for the Israel international with his old club.
The Israel international has played his part in helping Fiorentina move away from the drop zone in Serie A but he also knows the new head coach at Spurs as Solomon played plenty of football under De Zerbi while the duo were at Shakhtar Donetsk together in the 2021/22 season.
Solomon has scored two goals and laid on two assists in 18 matches for the Italian side as a fixture on either wing. The Tottenham man has one game remaining at home against Atalanta this weekend.
Tyrese Hall (Notts County) & Alfie Dorrington (Salford City)
Tyrese Hall and Alfie Dorrington could come up against each other as Notts County face Salford City in the League Two play-off final on Monday.
Twenty-year-old Jamaica international midfielder Hall was not involved in County's squad as they drew 0-0 at home against Chesterfield to advance after their 1-0 first leg win. Hall has scored eight goals and recorded two assists across 1,850 minutes in 39 appearances after heading out of Tottenham on his first loan.
Alfie Dorrington got on for the final minute or so as Salford City drew their home second leg 2-2 with Grimsby Town 2-1 to also progress to the big game at Wembley. The 20-year-old centre-back has made 12 appearances so far for City since switching from Aberdeen during the winter window.
