Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks has been linked with a £40 million switch to Manchester City.
The 24-year old came through the Spurs academy system and has already played 143 times for the first team, scoring just twice. He also has six senior England caps, making his debut in a wain away against Lithuania in October 2017.
He signed a new fiver-year deal at the club last summer, and was tipped for big things under Mauricio Pochettino, However, he faces a more uncertain future at the club under Jose Mourinho, with more competition for places in midfield, now that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been signed from Southampton.
Spurs are normally loathe to sell players to top six rivals but might be tempted by the right offer for Winks, as they need money to rebuild the squad in other areas of the pitch.
Pep Guardiola is reported to be a fan of Winks and believes that he could help him develop further.
