Will the 19-year-old get more first-team chances for Tottenham Hotspur next season?

According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a move for Argentine centre-back Juan Foyth, whom they claim will go straight into their Under-23 set-up.

If so, will Cameron Carter-Vickers get promoted to Tottenham’s senior squad?

The 19-year-old defender broke into Spurs’ main panel last season but did not make the substitute bench in a single Premier League match, though he did start four League Cup and FA Cup outings under Mauricio Pochettino last term.

Other than that, he was with the development squad but if Foyth arrives then perhaps Pochettino believes he is ready for heavier duty next season.

His performances in the cup competitions suggested that there’s plenty of room for improvement, but he needs games and Tottenham fans could be seeing him in Premier League action next term, though not from the start.

The Argentine manager plays with three centre-backs these days so there will be room on the bench for an extra one, and it could be the American youngster given that Kevin Wimmer is linked with a move away from North London.
