Tottenham defender Juan Foyth needs to make impact quickly

With Jose Mourinho replacing Mauricio Pochettino as the Tottenham boss, it’s given the entire a squad a clean slate and an opportunity to move on from a poor start to the season.

Mourinho has kickstarted his Spurs reign with a 3-2 away win over West Ham in the Premier League and in midweek followed that up with 4-2 home victory against Olympiakos in the Champions League group stages.

It looks like there is plenty of work to do to get them back to their best, but undoubtedly there is a talented group of individuals.

It’s obvious that the defence is a key area that needs improving and Mourinho has been a specialist throughout his career in organising resilient backlines.

Juan Foyth is someone that should be eyeing a regular spot under the new boss, but he needs to act rapidly if he wants to play a role moving forward.

Foyth has had to deal with injury problems at the beginning of the campaign and that’s impacted him so far, but he’s got to try knuckle down quickly.

The 21-year-old has been overlooked in the two previous games, as he was an unused substitute against West Ham and failed to make the squad against Olympiakos.

He is an Argentina international that joined Spurs under compatriot Pochettino and he now needs to find himself with a new manager.

Foyth could be in danger of becoming a fringe player if he doesn’t get his chance soon.

He’s a versatile defender that can play centre-back or right-back and tactician Mourinho could be the ideal mentor to help him nail down one position.
