Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko started alongside each other as Tottenham Hotspur won their latest Premier League game 5-0.

In comments reported by Football London, Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that he thinks that Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks are forming a fantastic partnership in midfield for Tottenham after Spurs beat Bournemouth 5-0 on Boxing Day.

Tottenham have really turned on the style in the last two games, beating Everton 6-2 at Goodison Park and following that up with a scintillating display at Wembley against the Cherries.

While neither got on the scoresheet, there were unquestionably more encouraging signs in the middle of the park, with Winks and Sissoko performing excellently. The latter, in particular, showed superb energy and was like a rock that the visitors could not get through.

And Pochettino suggested that Tottenham appear to have stumbled upon a fantastic pairing when he was asked about the two men.

“I think it is difficult to say nothing wrong,” he said, as reported by Football London. “They are playing so well, enjoying football and the mix between them is fantastic. They are working together very well and the team is getting the benefit of this partnership.”

It is incredible to think how much Sissoko has turned his fortunes around. The fans were understandably not impressed with the majority of his first two years with the club, but he now has to be considered a key player.

And with Winks doing a brilliant job of taking the chance that he has received in recent months, Pochettino has now got a seriously exciting pairing out of two players that some fans would have had concerns about had they been played alongside each other before this season.
