Club career



Estudiantes


Born in La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Foyth began his career at hometown club Estudiantes de La Plata.[4] He played for a number of years in the Youth academy, initially as an attacking midfielder, then moved to centre-back before he turned 16.[5] He signed his first professional contract in January 2017, which linked him to the club until June 2019.[6] He made his Primera División debut on 19 March 2017, against Patronato, aged 19.[7] He went on to play a further six times in the league, with additional two appearances in the Copa Sudamericana.[8]


Tottenham Hotspur


Foyth joined Tottenham Hotspur for a reported £8 million on 30 August 2017, on a five-year contract.[9][10] He made his debut on 19 September in an EFL Cup tie against Barnsley that Tottenham won 1–0.[11]

Foyth made his Premier League debut on 3 November 2018 in a 3–2 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he conceded two penalties which were both converted.[12] In his next league appearance, away to Crystal Palace, he scored his first career goal, handing Tottenham a 1–0 win.[13] On 4 May 2019, he came on at half time for Toby Alderweireld and was sent off three minutes later for a foul on Jack Simpson in a 1–0 loss at AFC Bournemouth.[14]


Villarreal


In October 2020, Foyth signed a new deal with Tottenham until 2024, and was then loaned to Spanish club Villarreal.[15] He made his debut on 22 October, scoring in a 5–3 home win over Turkey's Sivasspor in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[16] He made 11 more appearances in the tournament as his team won it, including a start in the final victory over Manchester United.[17]

At the end of his loan season, Foyth signed for Villarreal in June 2021 on a five-year deal for a fee of €15 million.[18] He became a key player at right back for manager Unai Emery, replacing veteran Mario Gaspar and covering for the injured Serge Aurier.[19]


International career


Foyth played for the Argentina national under-20 team in 2017. He made 12 appearances in total for the national youth team: nine at the 2017 South American Youth Football Championship in Ecuador, and another three during the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[20]

Foyth received his first call-up to the senior Argentina national team for a number of friendly games to be played in October 2018.[21] He made his debut on 16 November in a friendly against Mexico where he helped Argentina to a 2–0 win, being named man of the match and receiving wide praise for his performance in this match.[22][23] He was selected for the team at the 2019 Copa América, and made his first start in the competition in the match against Qatar.[24] He started as a right-back in three further games, including the semi-final they lost to Brazil 2–0,[25] and the third-place play-off against Chile, which they won 2–1.[26][27]


Personal life


Foyth, who was born in Argentina, is of Polish descent and holds a Polish passport.[28] His grandparents' surname was spelled Fojt, which was changed on arrival in Argentina.[29]

Foyth married his longtime girlfriend Ariana Alonso in La Plata, Argentina, in July 2019.[30]
