Spurs fans were supporting young defender Juan Foyth on his latest international call-up with Argentina and many fans feel as if the 21-year-old should be their first-choice right-back. 

Foyth, who joined Spurs from Estudiantes in 2017, has established himself as first-choice right-back in Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina side but struggles for minutes under Mauricio Pochettino. With Kieran Trippier having departed in the summer, it was expected that Juan Foyth would challenge Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters for the starting position, but he has made just one start for Spurs so far this season.

In his two years with the club, Foyth has managed just 29 appearances for Spurs but is regularly trusted at full-back by Argentina; something which baffles a lot of Spurs fans. Indeed, Foyth is yet to start a game in the Premier League, despite impressing in his one start against Red Star Belgrade earlier this month.

Reaction from Spurs fans to Foyth’s latest international call up can be seen in the tweets below.

Spurs fans clearly feel Foyth is ready to start more Premier League games having already proved himself on the international stage with Argentina.

What do we think?

Foyth has impressed for Argentina; averaging a 7.09 in their Copa America fixtures, but has barely featured since signing for Spurs in 2017. With Aurier struggling and Walker-Peters without a Premier League appearance since August, perhaps Spurs fans won’t have too long to wait until Foyth starts some domestic games.
