Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth is heading back to the UK.

Juan Foyth of Tottenham Hotspur warms up during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park on February 25, 2018 in London, England.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth is making his return to the UK for pre-season.

The first team players begin pre-season training on Monday, later than some clubs with manager Mauricio Pochettino giving his stars an extended holiday.

Foyth has been at home in his native Argentina for the past few weeks, but he is now heading back to England.

He posted an image from Buenos Aires’ Ministro Pistarini International Airport before his long haul flight.

Foyth left Estudiantes last summer with Tottenham beating Paris Saint-Germain to his signature, paying £8 million.

While he did not start a Premier League game, Foyth was a regular in cup competitions and impressed.

Tottenham’s first choice three centre-backs plus Eric Dier are all still at the World Cup so Foyth will have a big role to play in pre-season, which could set him up to take a big step forward next season.
