Deal Done – Tottenham Complete 3rd Summer Signing After Player Signs A 5-Year Contract With Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of one of their prime targets, it seems, as Juan Foyth has finally made the jump across from Argentina to England, the club has confirmed. The Argentine U-19 defender was one of the best players in an Estudiantes side that has former Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron as its chairman.

It seemed for a while that we would miss out on the talented defender as Paris Saint-Germain were leading the chase but the 19-year-old has become our third signing of the summer after Davinson Sanchez and Paulo Gazzaniga.

Foyth was snapped wearing our fantastic jersey and the youngster does seem quite happy to have joined us.

There is no guarantee that Foyth would be playing in the starting XI but there is one thing in his favour and that is Mauricio Pochettino does give young players a chance. With Kevin Wimmer having left the side, Foyth could hope for a few appearances in the Champions League.

We have signed another smart and young defender in Davinson Sanchez and with Foyth, we might have a centre-back pairing that can dominate the game at least for a few years to come.

While the transfer window has just a few hours left, we should be making a couple of other signings at least. We do need to bring in cover for our midfield and Ross Barkley is a name that has been linked with a move to our side as his time at Everton has more or less come to an end.

We do not have a side with a lot of depth and that will be a worry for Mauricio Pochettino. But we can count on Daniel Levy to do some wheeling and dealing before the window shuts. This is going to be another nail-biting final few hours and if past windows are anything to go by, we will have some good news before the next game in the Premier League.
