If Harry Winks reads the newspapers, he must have noticed that Tottenham Hotspur are getting linked to quite a few midfielders.

Earlier this month Spurs were touted to move for Thomas Delaney and Amadou Diawara, while earlier in the week it was reported by Calciomercato that Tottenham are front-runners for Andre Gomes.

It indicates that Mauricio Pochettino intends on signing an upgrade for the one-time England international, who is already behind Mousa Dembele in the pecking order.

Having come through the club’s academy, Winks is a very popular figure among fans of the Lilywhites, but they could and should be fearing the worst for his future if even one of those transfer rumours materialises this summer.
