Before Tottenham signed Juan Foyth, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa was on his case.
Links persist with Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth becoming a potential loan signing for Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds, with Football London reporting them again today.
Leeds need a centre-back, Foyth needs playing time, and Bielsa’s close relationship with protege and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino all help make a move viable.
There is one more piece to the jigsaw, and that is Bielsa’s attempts to sign fellow Argentine Foyth last summer.
Tottenham won the race for Foyth, beating competition from Paris Saint-Germain to clinch his signing in August.
Prior to the two big guns battling it out for the Argentina youth international, Marcelo Bielsa was on the case.
Lille reportedly put an offer in for the Estudiantes defender, which his club were ‘evaluating’.
Eventually bigger interest from PSG and Tottenham knocked Lille out of the running.
It would certainly not be a surprise if the new Leeds boss makes another play to bring him in this season on loan, whether Tottenham play ball is another matter.
