Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make a surprise attack to re-sign Leicester City star Harry Winks, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After coming through the Lilywhites' youth system, the 28-year-old was a key player for his boyhood club under Mauricio Pochettino. But, after the departure of the Argentine coach, the midfielder found it difficult to get regular football in the first team.
He was then initially loaned to Sampdoria to play regularly before making the permanent move to Leicester City last year. After moving to the King Power Stadium, Winks helped his team win promotion last season and has now been showing his qualities in the first division this season. Steve Cooper's team is currently above the relegation zone.
Now, Transfers claims Tottenham plan to strengthen their engine room next year and have tipped Winks as an ideal option after being impressed by his recent performances for the Foxes.
Spurs are “determined” to bring the Englishman back to the club and are willing to pay a fee of around £32m to sign him. Leicester do not want to let him leave the club, but considering he will enter the final 12 months of his current contract at the King Power Stadium next summer, they could be open to selling him at the end of this season to avoid losing him for free. in 2026.
Winks to Tottenham
Following the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbejrg, Giovani Lo Celso and Oliver Skipp last summer, Spurs have been left with a greatly reduced midfield department. Furthermore, following Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match national ban, Ange Postecoglou will be left with an even smaller midfield following the international break.
Therefore, strengthening the engine room would be the right decision for the north London club next year. However, Winks will turn 29 next year so he would not be the right option to strengthen the squad for the long-term future if he is acquired.
However, it will be interesting to see if Postecoglou's team finally makes a concrete decision to sign the Englishman next year.
Meanwhile, Tottenham entered the international break following consecutive defeats to Galatasaray and Ipswich Town. They will resume their campaign when they take office city of manchester in the Premier League next weekend.
