Harry Winks has confirmed that he has undergone surgery on an ankle injury that has plagued his time at Sampdoria. The Tottenham midfielder has spent the first half of the season on loan in Serie A but is yet to make an appearance for the club.
Winks was pushed further down the pecking order in the Tottenham midfield following the arrival of Rodrigo Bentancur in January, and the signing of Yves Bissouma in the summer from Brighton only worsened the situation for the England international.
Winks had options in the summer before deciding on a loan move to Serie A with Sampdoria, but he has struggled to make an impact after struggling with an ankle injury that has been a persistent problem.
