Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly keeping tabs on Foyth with a view to moving for him when the transfer window reopens

Leeds United are considering a January loan move for Tottenham defender Juan Foyth, according to reports.

Foyth, the centre-back, joined Spurs last summer but has still not made a single Premier League appearance for the club.

Foyth has still not been trusted to turn out in the league despite playing in the Champions League, EFL Cup and FA Cup

The 20-year-old remains highly-rated, and has represented the north London club eight times in all competitions, but he is said to be looking for a temporary move away from Spurs in January to increase his game time.

And, according to AS Argentina, Foyth could drop down a division with Leeds United keen on securing the talented youngster’s services.

Marcelo Bielsa, the Elland Road club’s coach, is said to have been keeping tabs on Foyth with the view of moving form him when the transfer window reopens.

Despite Leeds’ excellent start to the season that sees them third in the Championship table after 12 matches, they have been hit by a number of injury problems quite consistently.

The Whites’ defence has especially struggled with various players missing at different times, with all of Pontus Jansson, Liam Cooper, Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi absent for portions of the campaign.

Leeds were previously linked with Foyth over the summer following Bielsa’s appointment as manager of the Elland Road club.

Despite his lack of competitive action for Spurs over the past 14 months, Foyth received his first senior Argentina call-up for the recent international break, though he did not appear in the country’s matches against Iraq or Brazil.
