The Tottenham Hotspur defender certainly has the potential to become a star.

According to a report from Football.London, Mauricio Pochettino has full faith in Tottenham ace Juan Foyth, and believes that he will go on to become one of the very best central defenders in Europe.

The 21-year-old joined Spurs from Estudiantes in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth £8 million, according to BBC Sport, and he has gone on to make 25 appearances in all competitions for the north London outfit.

He did show his inexperience last season, however, none more so than when he received his marching orders after a horrendous late lunge against Bournemouth in Tottenham’s penultimate game of the season.

With Toby Alderweireld facing an uncertain future in north London, Foyth could very well be handed more regular action next term, but the Argentine will have to learn from his mistakes, if he is to be a success for Pochettino’s side.

And Football.London claims that Poch sees the 21-year-old as an important player for Tottenham next season.

The Argentine reportedly believes that his fellow countryman will go on to become one of the very best central defenders in the game.

The centre-back is undoubtedly talented, but he has a long, long way to go before he can be labelled as world-class.

And in the mean time, the Tottenham ace will have to keep learning from those around him, as he strives to cut out the silly mistakes that cost him and his team last season.
