Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Juan Foyth has left the club to join La Liga side Villarreal on loan.
Prior to his departure the club announced the defender has extended his contract up till 2023.
Juan broke onto to the scene in 2019 making his club debut against Barnsley in the EFL Cup. After the sale of Kieran Tripper to Atletico Madrid, Foyth was expected to be the club’s starting right-back but injury in the early half of the season coupled with Pochettino’s departure pushed him down the pecking order for centre-backs.
‘The Special One’ Jose Mouninho preferred Dier, Sanchez, Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen across various competitions and the rise of academy product Japhet Tanganga sealed the fate for 22-year old Argentine International.
A club statement said, “Juan Foyth has signed a new contract with the club until 2023 and joined Spanish side Villarreal on loan for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.”
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has quoted that there will be €15m buy option at the end of the loan spell should Villarreal choose to activate it.
