Harry Winks has stated that his recent comments about receiving no contact from Tottenham during his Sampdoria loan spell were in regards to the club's plans for next season. Out of favour in N17 and one of four players not in Antonio Conte's thoughts for the 2022/23 season, the midfielder departed the capital at the end of August as he headed to Italy on a season-long loan deal.
Unfortunately missing out through injury in the first 13 league games of his loan spell after having to go under the knife due to an ankle issue, Winks has been a regular in the Sampdoria team since his return midway through January. The Blucerchiati do have the option in their agreement with Spurs to buy the 27-year-old come the summer, although that now looks extremely unlikely with the Genoa-based club currently 12 points adrift of safety and staring relegation to Serie B in the face.
In an interview with Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, Winks opened up on his future and revealed that his full focus is on Sampdoria at present as they bid to escape the drop to Serie B. However, he did also mention that he has yet to hear from Conte or anybody at the club since departing almost seven months ago.
