Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee with Estudiantes for in-demand teenage defender Juan Foyth, who wants to move to the north London club. 

Inter have been keen on the young Argentine centre-back, while Paris Saint-Germain managed to agree a fee with Estudiantes and talked terms with Foyth's representatives.




But no move to the Parc des Princes has materialised, with the Argentine preferring a move to Tottenham to play under countryman Mauricio Pochettino.

Now the move has taken a decisive step forward as, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, Tottenham have agreed a fee with Estudiantes for the 19-year-old defender.

 


Tottenham will pay the Argentine club a fee of €10.5m for Foyth, with a further €1m in add-ons also included in the agreement.

The Premier League club have now moved on to discussing personal terms with Foyth and are putting the finishing touches to a five-year contract for the centre-back.

He will become the second defender to join Tottenham this summer following Davinson Sanchez's arrival from Ajax.
