The Tottenham Hotspur youngster has plenty of world-class talent to learn from at the club.
Juan Foyth spoke to Football.London about how he has settled into life at Tottenham, and named three players who have played a key role in his development.
The 20-year-old joined Spurs from Estudiantes in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth £8 million, but he has found first-team football hard to come by, making just six Premier League appearances.
When he has played, the Argentine has shown glimpses of his talent, but on the most part, he has looked a little rough around the edges.
Foyth does have some truly world-class defenders to learn from in north London, however, and he will surely become a top level performer one day.
The centre-back spoke to Football.London, and shared how he has learned a lot from playing and training alongside the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld:
“I think I was a different player at that time to what I am now. I wasn’t really fully prepared to play in the Premier League back then but after training extensively with players like Davinson (Sanchez), Jan (Vertonghen) and Toby (Alderweireld), I think I have learned a lot in that time.”
Foyth will struggle to get too many more opportunities this season, especially if the three aforementioned players remind fit and available for selection.
The Argentine will have to bide his time, keep working hard, and be ready to take any chance that he is given.
And if he is patient, his time will surely come at Tottenham.
