Leeds United have joined the race for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks following issues in Everton’s approach for the midfielder, according to the Liverpool Echo . Toffees manager Frank Lampard has identified Winks as a top target for his side as they look to strengthen the midfield, but it has been reported that they and Spurs have hit a bump in the road.
Everton are looking for a loan option for Winks, with the club severely burdened by Financial Fair Play regulations, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has deemed the midfielder surplus to requirements and wants to secure a permanent sale worth around £20million. The two sides look set to do business in the coming days, with Richarlison on the way to London for an initial £50million.
Winks made just 19 Premier League appearances last season and was frozen out of the Spurs side by Antonio Conte. Their signing of Yves Bissouma has only pushed the 26-year-old further down the pecking order and he is keen on a move away in search for more regular football.
