# Leeds: Harry Winks linked again

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are interested in rivalling Everton in the race to sign Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks, according to [The Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/breaking-everton-leeds-winks-transfer-24354604).**

### The Lowdown: January rumours

The Whites, who are on the search for midfield reinforcements, have already been linked with a move for Winks in 2022. [Reports](https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-united-said-no-to-donny-van-de-beek-and-harry-winks-in-transfer-window-3549694) suggested that former manager Marcelo Bielsa turned down the chance to sign Winks on loan during the January window, along with Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek.

The 26-year-old, labelled as [‘completely different’](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-harry-winks-england-20945082) by Mauricio Pochettino, who even quite bizarrely compared the Englishman to Xavi and Andres Iniesta, is entering the final [two years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/profil/spieler/249126) of his current Spurs deal, and it looks as if a move to Elland Road is a possibility once again.

### The Latest: Leeds keen

[Liverpool Echo journalist Connor O’Neill](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/breaking-everton-leeds-winks-transfer-24354604) provided an update regarding Winks on Wednesday evening.

He claimed that Leeds have expressed an interest in signing Winks this summer, with Spurs hoping to receive around £20m for the midfielder. Winks’ preference is thought to be a move to Everton, though, who are keen on a loan deal.

### The Verdict: Avoid

Winks, who has made enough of a name for himself at Spurs to get sponsored by [Adidas](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/profil/spieler/249126), appears to be a player on the decline, with his [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/marktwertverlauf/spieler/249126) valuation plummeting from £36m in 2019 to £13.5m today.

He made just [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/leistungsdaten/spieler/249126) Premier League starts last season – the last of which came at Elland Road in what was Bielsa’s final game in charge.

A £20m asking price appears high for a player who hasn’t exactly been a regular over the last 12 months, so shopping abroad as Leeds have done already could be a smarter move as the club look to get value for money.
