Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks says that he is still in touch with Scott Parker, now at Fulham.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks has revealed to The Telegraph that he is still in touch with Scott Parker.
Parker, who is now 36 years of age and is on the books of Championship club Fulham at the moment, played for Tottenham from 2011 until 2013.
Winks, who developed at Spurs’ youth academy, has disclosed that he still gets advice from Parker. The 20-year-old has also revealed the advice he got from his Tottenham teammate Jan Vertonghen last season.
“Last season I wasn’t playing so much and Jan would say, ‘you are a good player, keep going. You will get your chances’,” Winks told The Telegraph.
“And Scott Parker when he was here. He used to give me a lot of advice. He gave me his number and I still talk to him. He is good for advice because he has been there and done it.”
Winks is a talented and promising young footballer, and the 20-year-old does have a bright future at Tottenham.
The England Under-21 international has scored one goal and created two chances in 13 Premier League appearances for Spurs so far this season.
The midfielder could feature for the North London outfit against Championship club Aston Villa at White Hart Lane in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 42 points from 20 matches, seven points behind leaders and London rivals Chelsea.
