Paul Merson makes major Harry Winks 'scapegoat' claim after Everton transfer talks

Paul Merson has urged Everton to sign Tottenham’s Harry Winks and said the midfielder has become a ‘scapegoat’ at Spurs.

Winks has been linked with a move to Goodison Park and the ECHO has reported that both clubs have held talks over a potential deal. The ECHO also understands that Frank Lampard has identified the England international as a player who can bolster his midfield options heading into the new season.

Midfield is an area that Lampard has long been keen to strengthen this summer. Fabian Delph is set to depart the club in the coming days, while there is uncertainty over the futures of Allan and Andre Gomes.
