I believe the answer is:

ole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreigner' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'people lack pep' is the wordplay.
'lack' is a deletion indicator.
'people' with 'pep' removed is 'OLE'.

'suggesting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ole that I've seen before include "Hurray in Spain" , "Spanish cheer" , "A Spanish hooray" , "Hooray in Spain" , "Hurrah in Spain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
