Leeds United 'join race' for Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks as Everton talks hit problems

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.
