The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is ready to play week in, week out if his manager shows faith.
Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat against Liverpool on Saturday was a bitter pill to swallow for Spurs fans hoping this was the season they would finally make a valid and sustained title challenge.
In one of the year’s first real six-pointers Tottenham capitulated, with many of their biggest names failing to produce on the day.
In light of their latest disappointment, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has some big decisions to make in the weeks ahead, and one of those surrounds his central midfield options.
Harry Winks has looked impressive whenever he has played this season, displaying a maturity beyond his years and often being the composed lynch pin that calms games down and ensures Spurs have control in the latter stages.
He had to make do with just 22 minutes against Liverpool, by which time the damage was done, but when Tottenham next take part in Premier League action – against Stoke City at the end of the month – Winks should be starting.
In fact, as long as he is fit and available, there is an argument that the exciting young midfielder should now be a regular starter for Pochettino’s men.
