And so it appears that the Argentinian&#8217;s time at the club is probably up.<\/p>\n<p>The defender joined the club in August 2017, but has made only 16 Premier League appearances. Under Pochettino he was given more time and a chance to prove himself. However, even when key personnel were injured or suspended, he has failed to secure a first-team place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e9971f2d\/Japhet-Tanganga?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Japhet Tanganga<\/a>&#8216;s introduction is likely one of the final nails in the coffin, who has just returned from injury. Foyth is a similiar age, and is unlikely to secure a place as an experienced centre-back within the squad. Add to this the arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d557d734\/Matt-Doherty?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Doherty<\/a>, and Foyth seems even further away from a starting spot.<\/p>\n<h3>New Defender<\/h3>\n<p>Spurs are yet to replace <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ba23a904\/Jan-Vertonghen?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jan Vertonghen<\/a>, and if they sell Foyth they will have less depth at centre-back. They appear to be actively searching for another centre-back, though.<\/p>\n<p>The latest from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1311653522354692099\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Romano<\/a> is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/30f5ffa9\/Milan-Skriniar?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milan Skriniar<\/a> deal is stalling.
