Valencia remains interested in loaning Harry Winks, but a move is unlikely to happen because the Spaniards are in a tough financial situation and Spurs will expect to receive a loan fee for the England midfielder.
Moving to Spain will give Winks the opportunity to play regularly as he eyes a place in the England squad for the Euros this year.
Valencia has emerged as one team that is willing to offer him that playing time for the next six months, but Spurs aren’t willing to do them a favour.
AS says that the Lilywhites are open to allowing Winks to leave this month, but they want a loan fee in addition to the Spanish side paying all his wages.
This is something that Los Che is struggling to do because they are already in financial turmoil that has seen them sell off some of their top players.
They have offloaded Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin, among others, and this has left a huge hole in their midfield.
Winks could plug that for the next six months, but Spurs would have to reconsider their stance for that to happen.
Daniel Levy has shown that he is the king of the transfer market when it comes to negotiations, and he will probably maintain his position on the midfielder and wait for the Spaniards to give in.
Yep
🌚
That’s what they always say though. Same with Dele. But I’m sure if the right offers come along..money talks… Bale and Modric were also going nowhere we were told repeatedly… Situations can change fast in football.
Yep.. Time for the next Tom Carroll to be given a chance.
I’d prefer to see Harvey White given a run of games over Winks.
Winks tries to do more, but it’s just not in him.
He’ll do well in Spain just playing it simple.
Now I read it’s Jan 2022 but BBC still listing fixtures for next week.
Just get him out and get someone who scores and assists in. Enough already
Just noticed the African Nations Cup starts in a week or so. Do we lose Aurier? Do Liverpool lose Salah Mane etc?
Has he not played his way back into the reckoning? I expect Winks to start tonight. I can’t see anything happening with this in January
When asked yesterday about a loan move for Harry Winks to Valencia, Mourinho responded, “I told you already he’s going nowhere. So when I say he’s going nowhere, what more do you want me to say?”
