Why Harry Winks deserves much more than the goodbye he will likely get from Tottenham supporters

Harry Winks walked through the door at Tottenham Hotspur 20 years ago, but his time at the north London club looks to be finally coming to an end.

The arrival of Yves Bissouma last week has accelerated Winks' expected departure, with the club not willing to sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur having only joined in January and Oliver Skipp signing a long-term new deal just a couple of months ago. Winks needs regular football this coming season, particularly if he holds any hopes of getting back into Gareth Southgate's England squad ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar.

Everton tried to prise the 25-year-old away in January, both before and after Frank Lampard's arrival that month, and are attempting again this summer. Their problem lies in their Financial Fair Play struggles and the Toffees reportedly would prefer a loan move initially unless they can move others on first.
