“I know the club has great history and is one of the biggest clubs in England,” Foyth told Tottenham’s official website.

“I’m very happy to be here, it’s a dream for me. I also know that many young players are in the team at the moment. I think there’s a wonderful project here.”

“Ardiles and Villa were great players and I know they gave so much for this club,” said Foyth when asked about Argentine influence at Tottenham.

“Erik Lamela has been here for quite a while and has been doing really well, now Paulo Gazzaniga is here too and both he and I are going to try to make the most of this opportunity.”
