Tottenham defender Juan Foyth is prepared to consider his options in January if he continues to be overlooked.

Foyth, 20, was included in the senior Argentina squad for the first time last week, although he did not feature against Iraq and Brazil.

However, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is thought to have reservations about Foyth’s progress since he joined the club from Estudiantes in August 2017.

Spurs will be without Jan Vertonghen until mid-December with a hamstring problem but Foyth, who has four years left on his deal, is not expected to step up in the Belgian’s absence.

Foyth was one of the overseas players omitted from Spurs’ Champions League squad for the group stage and his best hope of playing will come in the domestic cups, with Spurs playing West Ham in the fourth round of the League Cup on October 31 as part of four games in nine days.

Meanwhile, Spurs are expected to add to their squad in the winter transfer window and are thought to have watched Blackburn playmaker Bradley Dack.
