The Tottenham Hotspur youngster is simply too good to ignore in his current form.

Tottenham Hotspur have a number of exciting young players coming through the ranks, but on recent evidence one is shining brighter than the rest right now in the form of Harry Winks.

The 21-year-old has been growing in confidence this season and Sunday’s match against Fulham was the culmination of hard work, talent and the faith of his manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Winks was nothing short of sensational in the FA Cup fifth round clash, and while Harry Kane took both the headlines and the match ball after a fine hat-trick, the importance of his teammate should not be understated.

This writer has been championing Winks for a while now and he showed on Sunday that he should be playing regularly for Tottenham, even if some Spurs fans question whose place he will take in the first-choice starting line-up.

That is a fair point, but if Winks continues to play like this he will simply be un-droppable and it will be up to his more experienced teammates to prove they deserve their place ahead of him.
