Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth is well aware of Spurs’ history in the FA Cup.
Juan Foyth has told Football London that he’s fully aware of how important the FA Cup is to Tottenham Hotspur after being briefed on their rich history in the competition by his English teacher.
The 19-year-old started and finished Sunday’s 3-0 win over AFC Wimbledon at Wembley as Tottenham moved into the fourth round of the competition.
Mauricio Pochettino’s selection has suggested that he is very serious about winning the competition, having selected a host of his first-team players, including Harry Kane – who scored twice – Victor Wanyama and Erik Lamela.
The Lilywhites are the third most successful team in the tournament after winning it eight times, four less than Manchester United and five less than Arsenal, but the North Londoners haven’t won it since 1991.
But Foyth, who joined Tottenham for £8 million in the summer (Daily Mail), says he is hopeful that he and his team-mates can end 27 years of disappointment come May.
“We have a list of our cup wins on the wall when we come into the training ground and I have read it many times because it is good to know the history when you join a club,” the Argentine centre-back told Football London.
“Also my English teacher has told me about the past successes that Tottenham have had in the FA Cup at Wembley so I understand how important it is.
“Hopefully we can win it again this season and make our supporters happy once more.”
