It’s time for the Back and Foyth round-up, because we love puns and it seems like Tottenham could very well end up signing the young centre-back after all.
Earlier on Monday, we covered an update from Cielo in Argentina, who claimed the 19-year-old could travel to London either Monday or Tuesday after being left out of Estudiantes’ squad to face Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana.
They’re not the only ones claiming that, as Diario Hoy also hinted on Monday morning the player could be on a flight to England as early as tomorrow.
As for the newspaper that’s been leading the story from the off, El Dia present in today’s edition the ins and outs at Estudiantes this summer, as the squad takes shape, which includes the Tottenham target.Unlike a lot of exits, the youngster’s name is followed (and preceded) by a question mark, suggesting there are doubts about the whole thing.
The text underneath suggests Foyth ‘would move’ to Tottenham for a fee of around €10.5m, using the conditional tense, which is common for Spanish speaking countries when it comes to transfers, leaving the door open a U-turn just in case.
Overall, Argentina seem pretty convinced everything is in place for the move to happen.
Regarding Tottenham’s previous competition, considering the last time the French media mentioned the transfer was a couple of days ago, the Paris Saint-Germain route appears to be out of the window completely
And Inter’s brief interest? Well, the latest reports suggest they’ve since moved on to Manchester City’s Eliaquim Mangala to bolster their defence.
