Tottenham's Juan Foyth can be one of Europe's best - Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino hailed Juan Foyth's mental strength after his winning goal at Crystal Palace and stated that his young countryman has the potential to be one of the best centre-backs in Europe.

The 20-year-old conceded two penalties on his Premier League debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday. But, one week on, he was the hero at Selhurst Park as his second-half header secured a 1-0 victory.

"Today he showed great personality and he played so well, like one week ago," said Pochettino. "I'm happy for him because it's a massive victory and for him to feel that he's a Premier League player and help the team to win, I think it's a massive feeling.
