The early morning transfer story of the day is that Harry Winks could be on his way out of N17, with a string of clubs both foreign and domestic in the mix for the services of the 25-year-old.
One drawback is that this transfer rumour emanates from The Mirror, which whilst a national newspaper, has shocking form for the legitimacy of its football rumour output. This paper isn’t alone in this respect, but we need to not just look at the content in these matters but also the sources.
The clubs said to be interested include Atlético Madrid, Everton Valencia, and Sevilla. Everton have been linked with Winks on and off for some time, but one would have to wonder if Harry’s last performance against the North West club did him any favours.
That was the game where Winks took care of what he must have perceived as a pigeon problem at Goodison Park.
Let’s hope efforts to move Winks on are underway.
