Report: Juan Foyth keen to leave Tottenham Hotspur in January in search of regular playing minutes

According to The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare, Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth would prefer an exit in January if he continues to struggle for game time under manager Jose Mourinho. The Argentine played for the first time since the Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino yesterday, putting in an impressive shift in the dead-rubber Champions League 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich. Foyth wasn’t included in three of the five match-day squads prior to yesterday’s trip to Germany, with his last appearance coming in Pochettino’s last game. With next summer’s Copa America on his mind, the 21-year-old knows he needs to play regularly in the coming months to have a chance of making Argentina’s squad, and he will consider both staying in the Premier League or moving abroad.
