Tottenham Hotspur beat Leeds United 3-0 on Saturday afternoon, and Harry Winks played an important role in the win.

Winks was handed a start alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg having forced his way into the Spurs side in recent games.

The England international had found first-team football hard to come by, and he was even being linked with a January move away from the club.

However, he impressed against Stoke City in the Carabao Cup, and then played 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Winks started against Leeds too, and was substituted in the second half for Moussa Sissoko, suggesting that he is now first-choice alongside Hojbjerg right now.

Tottenham have now released their weekly ‘Mourinho cam’ video, showing Mourinho on the touchline at key moments in the game, and one has emerged from the Leeds edition.

When Winks was substituted for Sissoko, Mourinho went over to talk to Winks, seemingly giving him a personal coaching session on the bench after his performance.

Mourinho is clearly taking the time to really push Winks on, and his moment on the bench with the 24-year-old again points to him not only staying at Spurs beyond the end of the Janary window, but also playing a regular role.
