Erik Lamela thinks his Tottenham teammate Juan Foyth proved his character with Argentina at the Copa America this summer, and hopes it is just the start of a long international career.
The 21-year-old defender had only three senior caps to his name before the tournament in Brazil and wasn’t expecting to play a big part.
But he ended up securing a vital role in the team, and despite playing out of his most natural position at right-back, he held his own in Argentina’s last four games as they ended up with a third-place finish.
