Tottenham youngster continues to impress.

Tottenham Hotspur youngster Harry Winks has slotted seamlessly into the first team in recent weeks, and continued that against Burnley.

Winks played all 90 minutes of the team’s 2-1 win over the Clarets, and was near immaculate in possession.

The youngster managed to complete 94 per cent of his passes, while touching the ball 18 more times than teammate Victor Wanyama.

Winks made four ball recoveries, doing his bit defensively, while also having the confidence to manage two shots on goal, one of which was on target.

This was no one off. In 10 Premier League appearances this season for Tottenham, Winks has a pass completion rate of 90 per cent.

The 20-year-old’s emergence has helped sideline big money signing Moussa Sissoko, with Eric Dier also played out of position.

Winks is an England under-21 international, and if he continues his form for Tottenham and holds onto his place, then it would not be a surprise to see him make the step up to Gareth Southgate’s senior squad in 2017.
