Should Tottenham Hotspur loan out Juan Foyth next season?
Juan Foyth reminded Tottenham Hotspur fans of his promise on Sunday, but also of his inexperience.
The 20-year-old defender started in the 2-2 draw at Rochdale and although there were plenty of positives alongside Toby Alderweireld, there were also examples of how raw he is.
Foyth, signed for £8 million last summer, is yet to play in the Premier League and considering his occasional struggles against the League One side, coupled with Spurs’ plentiful centre-back options, it might be a while before he is ready for Mauricio Pochettino’s best XI.
With that in mind, perhaps the Argentine manager should loan out his young compatriot during the summer.
Realistically, how often is he going to play when Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Eric Dier are more reliable central defenders than him?
Spending the entire 2018-19 campaign in North London next term would be a waste when you consider that playing regularly in a season-long loan would enable him to return to Tottenham a much more mature player in the summer of 2019.
He remains a fantastic prospect, but one that needs work. Question is, will he get chances to gain the experience to iron out those creases under Pochettino?
