Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth has taken to social media site instagram to announce that he is heading back to the UK for pre-season training.

Spurs first team players will begin their pre-season training on Monday. After a long campaign, Mauricio Pochettino has given his star players an extended break.

Of course, players that are still participating in the World Cup will get a break as well.

Foyth joined Spurs last summer from Estudiantes in an £8 million deal, with the north London club beating off competition from other European rivals.

The 20-year-old is a talented defender and although he didn’t start a Premier League game last season, Pochettino used him in domestic cup competitions, where he duly impressed.
