Scouting Report & Player Insights
Juan Foyth is an Argentine defender at Villarreal, comfortable both as a ball-playing centre-back and at right-back under Unai Emery. He is defined by his willingness to step out of defence and drive the ball forward, backed by tidy passing range, though his aggressive, sometimes rash tackling style has historically brought disciplinary problems. A former Tottenham academy product, he rebuilt his career in Spain into a reliable, versatile top-flight defender.
