Harry Winks has admitted that his place in the England team could be in danger if he continues to spend most of his time on the bench in Tottenham.Winks has gone some way to cement his place in the plans of England coach Gareth Southgate in recent months. And that has been done despite making only four games with the Spurs in the Premier League this season.
The midfielder has not appeared in the country for Tottenham since the 3-3 draw with West Ham on 18 October and has admitted his England prospects could be affected by the lack of playing time at the command of Jose Mourinho. “My situation at Tottenham is difficult at the moment,” said winks. “It is important to keep fighting and working as hard as I can to stay in the team and stay in the team.
“Every time I get to England I love. It’s a great place to play football here is free and the boys get along very well, it is a great place to come to.” I want to be a part of that in euros and who want to be in the starting lineup in euros as well.
“But, yes, it is important that I get back at Tottenham opportunities there and I stay in the team there as well.” Winks has figured prominently during the current implementation of international games.
He played 90 minutes as England achieved a 3-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland in a friendly, then steadied the ship off the bench in the 2-0 defeat to Belgium in the League of Nations on Sunday.
