As Juan Foyth clapped the supporters at the end of Tottenham’s 3-1 defeat by Bayern Munich, he may have been doing so after his final Champions League match for the club. Foyth was one of Spurs’ best performers on Wednesday night, but The Athletic can reveal the 21-year-old defender Foyth would prefer a move in January if he continues to struggle for game time.



With four matches before the end of the year, the situation could yet change but for the moment, Foyth feels he needs to be playing — especially with a Copa America coming up next summer, co-hosted by his native Argentina. He would consider both staying in the Premier League or moving abroad, and the club have not yet spoken to him about his future.



Whether Tottenham will allow a player they signed for £8 million in 2017 to leave will likely depend in part on whether Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld sign extensions to their contracts, which both expire at the end of the season.
