"He'd suit it down to the ground" - Alasdair Gold urges Mourinho to make change with Foyth
Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold has urged Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho to change Juan Foyth’s role.
The Argentine has struggled to get much first-team action this season. He has made just seven appearances across all competitions. Foyth has predominantly been used as a centre-back in his time in north London.
However, Gold has called on current Spurs boss Mourinho to use the 22-year-old as a holding midfielder.
After being asked whether Mourinho would consider using Foyth in such a role, Gold said: “I’ve pushed for that switch for a long time. I even asked Foyth about it last year and he admitted he played in the role briefly after having been an attacking midfielder as a youngster in Estudiantes’ academy.
"For one reason or another Pochettino and Mourinho didn’t/don’t see him in the role but I feel that with his technical ability he’d suit it down to the ground. Whether he goes comes down to whether the young Argentine is going to get game time. He wants it and if he isn’t then he’ll look to move on.”
