Fans of Tottenham Hotspur have been reacting to the reported interest from Leeds United in signing Argentine defender Juan Foyth.
According to The Sun, Marcelo Bielsa’s outfit is lining up a £15m bid for the 22-year-old centre-back regardless of if they land Brighton and Hove Albion’s Ben White permanently.
As stated in the report, the player would supposedly ‘relish’ the chance to work under Bielsa at Elland Road.
The Whites are not alone in their pursuit in Foyth, however, as Boca Juniors are also stated to be interested in the defender.
This report was shared on social media by The Spurs Web and lots of The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful flocked to it to air their thoughts.

The Argentine defender currently has two years left on his contract with Spurs and has a market value of £12.15m according to Transfermarkt.
Would you be happy if Spurs sold Juan Foyth this summer?
Yes, he's not good enough
No, he's a decent player
15m looool do it

This season, Foyth has made only four Premier League appearances for the North London club in which he has delivered a weak 6.05/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
The centre-back’s poor average rating in the league this season has left the defender as the third-worst performer in Jose Mourinho’s squad.
I’d sell him for a packet of biscuits
