The Argentina international is out of favour under Spurs boss Jose Mourinho and isn’t in the Portuguese first-team plans.
Foyth hasn’t played for Tottenham this year despite being fit, and a summer exit is on the cards.
AC Milan have been linked with the 22-year-old, but it appears he could remain in England, with Elland Road very likely to be hosting Premier League football next term.
Am told on Juan Foyth, that as well as a couple of Spanish clubs, AC Milan have a strong interest.
Back in December, we reported on his willingness to leave #THFC if he didn't start to play more regularly. He's yet to play in 2020. https://t.co/cnMNwMfI8J

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are top of the Championship with nine games left, and are already preparing for life back in the English top-flight from the look of things. Leeds could be without Ben White next season, with the English centre-back likely to return to Brighton, and Foyth could be a great replacement.
He arrived at Tottenham from Estudiantes in the summer of 2017 for £8 million on a five-year contract on the recommendations of former boss Mauricio Pochettino. He has since made 30 appearances across all competitions and became a full Argentina international.
However, he has only played seven times this term, and might have already played his last game in a Spurs shirt.
Foyth is very comfortable on the ball and he fits Bielsa’s style of play, so a temporary move to Elland Road could indeed be on the cards.
