Tottenham fans have been reacting on Twitter to a report linking Juan Foyth with a loan move to Leeds United – and it appears that the majority are in support of a potential switch for the centre-back this summer.
News outlet Varksy Sports reported via their official Twitter account last week that newly-appointed Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa is looking to sign Foyth, 20, on loan this summer as he looks to bolster his newly-inherited defence at Elland Road.

Foyth was signed up by Tottenham from Estudiantes last summer, but only made eight appearances in all competitions in his debut season at the North London club.
The defender is yet to play in the Premier League, having only appeared in cup competitions and the Champions League so far.
And it seems that Spurs fans will be well behind a loan deal that will see Foyth earn valuable first team experience on loan at Championship side Leeds.
One fan claimed a loan deal would be a “no-brainer”.
Here is a selection of their tweets:
Good move will toughen him up playing regularly in championship

Leeds only have two senior centre-backs on their books at the moment in Pontus Jansson and Liam Cooper.
Matthew Pennington has returned to Everton after his loan spell expired while youngster Paudie O’Connor was called up to the first team to help cure a defensive crisis at the end of last season.
