Leeds United are edging closer to the signing of Juan Foyth from Tottenham Hotspur, it has been claimed in Italy. 

The Whites are expected to be busy in the transfer market this summer as they aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the kick off of the Premier League in September.

 



They are set to lose loan star Ben White, who will return to parent club Brighton & Hove Albion, and are zeroing in on Foyth to add to the ranks.

Leeds are edging closer to the capture, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, and it is claimed are prepared to pay £15m to land the Argentine.
 


Foyth has slipped out of favour under Jose Mourinho at Tottenham and could be tempted by the prospect of playing under countryman Marcelo Bielsa.



The 22-year-old clocked just 65 minutes of football in the Premier League this season, while he turned out three times in the Champions League.

Tottenham beat Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of Foyth in the summer of 2017 and he arrived in north London as a highly rated talent.
