Winks looked likely to leave in January but, if he keeps playing the way he did against
Liverpool, he will be going nowhere

When Antonio Conte took over at
Tottenham, the club’s fans expected the Italian to discard any passengers in the squad. The last few years have been turbulent for the club and they have desperately needed to rebuild since the peak of reaching the
Champions League final in 2019 and ship some deadwood on to pastures new.
To their credit, Spurs did at least get Moussa Sissoko, Joe Hart and Danny Rose off the books in the summer, with Sissoko and Rose signing for Watford, and Hart moving north to Celtic. But those exits felt like the start of a long-term project rather than a quick fix. When Conte arrived at the club last month, Matt Doherty, Dele Alli and Harry Winks must have wondered if their futures lay elsewhere.
