Flop: Juan Foyth

An ankle injury sustained before the start of the season hampered Foyth's progress

Juan Foyth was signed from Argentine club Estudiantes de la Plata in August 2017 and under the tutelage of his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino, he made steady progress and became established in the Spurs first-team last season, eventually leading to an international call-up where he was an ever-present in Argentina's 2019 Copa America team.

The game against Norwich saw the 21-year-old make only his fourth league appearance of the season and first start and he showed signs of match rustiness when he dallied on the ball, causing an error that led directly to Norwich's opening goal in the 24th minute.For the rest of his time on the field, Foyth did not do too much to impress José Mourinho and it did not come as a surprise when he was hauled off at half-time for Davidson Sanchez.
