Harry Winks has signed a new five year contract at Tottenham Hotspur today.
Harry Winks has told Tottenham Hotspur’s official website that he could potentially play a more advanced role.
Winks has generally been used in a sitting role at Spurs, whenever he has played.
However, the 21-year-old insists that he has the capabilities to be an attacking weapon for Tottenham in the future.

“The academy managers throughout the years have always told me to be able to be versatile in midfield as opposed to just playing one role so, for me, if I’m on the pitch then I can adapt to what I need to do,” he said.
“If the manager says to sit then I’ll sit, if I need to have a bit more of a free role and be a bit more fluid then I’ll do that but for me, just being on the pitch is a bonus itself and when I’m on there it’s obviously important to show quality, confidence and to stay solid within the team.”
Winks showed his attacking intent as he scored on his first start for Tottenham against West Ham United earlier this season.
The youngster is clearly a player who Mauricio Pochettino rates highly, as he has been given plenty of game time this season.
Winks now seems to be firmly in Pochettino’s first-team plans, and he has penned a new five year contract at Spurs today, as a reward for his good form.
Tottenham have just been linked with a signing which would be a complete game-changer
Winks has regularly been utilised as a substitute, as Spurs have looked to see games out.
The youngster is likely to feature again on Thursday evening, when Tottenham take on Gent in the Europa League.
