Tottenham Hotspur have one of Argentina’s most exciting talents in defender Juan Foyth.

He is ineligible to feature in midweek in the Champions League after Spurs chose not to register him in their squad.

That looks like a mistake given his recent ascendancy, and there could be another young Argentine sensation who steals the show at Wembley in midweek.

All eyes will be on Mauro Icardi in attack, and the name Tottenham have to watch out for too is Lautaro Martinez.

Inter paid Racing Club a fee of around £20 million to sign Martinez in the summer and he is slowly beginning to make an impact.

Martinez was handed a start at the weekend as Inter rested Icardi, and he came through, scoring once and providing an assist in their Serie A win over Frosinone.

The 21-year-old is likely to start on the bench at Wembley. Tottenham must be ready for the young striker nicknamed ‘The Bull’ if he comes on.

Like Foyth, he has already made his Argentina debut – and scored for his country already, and unlike the Tottenham man, he is eligible for the Champions League.

Tottenham cannot discount him from their preparations.
