I watched a couple of his matches after we were linked. Hard to rate based on league but he seems incredibly composed and reads the game real well for his age. He plays a style similar to Toby or Stones. Likes to win tackles on his feet, take the ball and distrbute it, maybe beat a man from time to time. Likes short to medium passes on the ground that he may not get away with in the PL.
Watched six matches of his now, Estudiantes and Argentina, and this is pretty spot on. With the way he plays, it'll definitely be a year or two developing his style effectively to the speed of the PL before he can be counted on in the rotation. Doesn't mean they won't play him (especially if Wimmer goes), but at this stage he's definitely going to have some of those moments that Stones has where you wonder why on earth he would play the ball from back so nonchalantly in certain situations. And sometimes it'll work, and others it'll cost us.
Just my take based on what I've seen.

Stones is the best comparison. Poch will have to work on him though so he perfects the defensive aspects. And he will obviously need to to bulk up

For what it's worth, while I was searching for news of Aurier I came across a French site quoting unnamed PSG sources as saying that despite their best efforts Foyth has decided to sign for Spurs.

Hairdresser ITK is always spot on, only when we are linked to a bald player will i question hairdresser ITK.
