The 20-year-old, who is yet to make a Premier League appearance but has been involved in the Carabao Cup and Champions League this season, is seeking a temporary move away from Spurs in order to gain more first-team experience.
According to AS Argentina, Foyth will be ready to drop down into the Championship with promotion-chasing Leeds United keen to secure a deal in the winter window.
Bielsa has been keeping tabs on the defender amid continuing injury problems in Leeds defence. Pontuss Jansson, Liam Cooper, Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi have all had spells on the sideslines already this season.
