Tottenham youngster addresses Leeds speculation.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth has responded to suggestions he could join Leeds United on loan.
Foyth was quizzed on the subject by Fox Sports Argentina and hailed Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa as a ‘great coach’.
He did though play down speculation, insisting he has not been notified of any plans by Tottenham.
Foyth commented: “I do not know, they did not tell me anything, I’m calm in Tottenham, Bielsa is a great coach, Pochettino told me I got better, I’m going to work to have more minutes.”
Tottenham signed Foyth from Estudiantes last season and he impressed in cup competitions but did not get any Premier League chances.
New Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is one of Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino’s mentors and helped his playing career as a centre-back, so the Whites are in a logical position to benefit if Spurs do decide to loan the young talent to get some first team minutes under his belt.
Tottenham’s decision making over Foyth could hinge on their own transfer business this summer, and whether any other first team centre-backs leave the club or not.
