Harry Winks seems to be enjoying himself at Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks has explained to ESPN why he is suited to Mauricio Pochettino’s playing style.
Winks is only 20 years of age and has yet to establish himself in the Tottenham first team, but he is a very talented and promising young midfielder.
The youngster made his first start for Spurs in the EFL Cup third-round tie against Gillingham last week.
The England Under-20 international midfielder featured against Middlesbrough in the Premier League last weekend and then against CSKA Moscow in Russia in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Winks has explained why he is suited to the way that Tottenham manager Pochettino wants his team to play.
“I’m playing with top, top quality players and every day I’m improving,” Winks told ESPN. “I’m learning from a great manager as well. He teaches us a lot and his philosophy suits me to a tee. I’m enjoying my time here.”
“My game is to take risks, be sturdy and solid when I need to be, but ultimately we want to score and in order to do so you have to take risks,” added the youngster. “In my position that’s what I’m able to do and hopefully I can affect the game in that way.”
Winks seems to be enjoying himself at the moment, and that is very important for a young footballer.
There is understandably less pressure on the youngster at the moment, but he should be ready to step up if needed.
Tottenham are aiming to win the Premier League title this season and are also targeting progress in the Champions League.
Winks is likely to get a considerable among of playing time as the season progresses, and he should be ready to make an impact.
