Tottenham defender Juan Foyt is wanted by newly promoted EFL Champions Leeds United, who are ready to bid £15 million for him.
Foyt joined Spurs from Estudiantes in Argentina in 2017 for a fee of £8 million when his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino was in charge of the club.
He has made 32 appearances for them in all competitions and was once tipped to have a big future in North London, but has fallen out of favour completely under Jose Mourinho, and is available for sale this summer.
The 22-year old#, who already has 10 senior caps for Argentina, is though to be very keen on the move to Leeds, because it gives him the opportunity to work under another Argentine, Marcelo Bielsa, who he has previously described as the “one of the best” in the world.
The Yorkshire club are looking for a replacement for Ben White who has just spent a successful season on loan with them from Brighton.
