Club career
[edit]Estudiantes
[edit]Born in La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Foyth began his career at hometown club Estudiantes de La Plata.[4] He played for a number of years in the Youth academy, initially as an attacking midfielder, then moved to centre-back before he turned 16.[5] He signed his first professional contract in January 2017, which linked him to the club until June 2019.[6] He made his Primera División debut on 19 March 2017, against Patronato, aged 19.[7] He went on to play a further six times in the league, with additional two appearances in the Copa Sudamericana.[8]
Tottenham Hotspur
[edit]Foyth joined Tottenham Hotspur for a reported £8 million on 30 August 2017, on a five-year contract.[9][10] He made his debut on 19 September in an EFL Cup tie against Barnsley that Tottenham won 1–0.[11]
Foyth made his Premier League debut on 3 November 2018 in a 3–2 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he conceded two penalties which were both converted.[12] In his next league appearance, away to Crystal Palace, he scored his first career goal, handing Tottenham a 1–0 win.[13] On 4 May 2019, he came on at half time for Toby Alderweireld and was sent off three minutes later for a foul on Jack Simpson in a 1–0 loss at AFC Bournemouth.[14]
Villarreal
[edit]In October 2020, Foyth signed a new deal with Tottenham until 2024, and was then loaned to Spanish club Villarreal.[15] He made his debut on 22 October, scoring in a 5–3 home win over Turkey's Sivasspor in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[16] He made 11 more appearances in the tournament as his team won it, including a start in the final victory over Manchester United.[17]
At the end of his loan season, Foyth signed for Villarreal in June 2021 on a five-year deal for a fee of €15 million.[18] On 16 August, he was sent off in a goalless draw at Granada CF in the opening game of the season.[19] He became a key player at right-back for manager Unai Emery, replacing veteran Mario Gaspar and covering for the injured Serge Aurier.[20] On 12 May 2022, he scored his first La Liga goal, to restore the lead in a 5–1 win at Rayo Vallecano.[21]

Foyth was called up for the first time to the senior Argentina national team by manager Lionel Scaloni for a number of friendly games to be played in October 2018.[23] He made his debut on 16 November in a friendly against Mexico where he helped Argentina to a 2–0 win, being named man of the match and receiving wide praise for his performance in this match.[24][25]
He was included in the final 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América, and made his first start in the competition in the match against Qatar.[26] He started as a right-back in three further games, including the semi-final they lost to Brazil 2–0,[27] and the third-place play-off match against Chile, which they won 2–1.[28][29]
