# Tottenham Hotspur: Alan Hutton wowed by Harry Winks exit claim

**Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-crying-out-for-winks-upgrade-after-big-money-times-update-hutton/), [BBC Radio 5 Live pundit](https://icdb.tv/stats/3725/Alan-Hutton) Alan Hutton has been left wowed by news involving Tottenham Hotspur and midfielder Harry Winks.**

### The Lowdown: Winks exit claim emerges…

As per a report from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/stale-harry-winks-finds-himself-looking-at-the-crossroads-g967scf8j), Spurs and managing director Fabio Paratici appear willing to let the Englishman go next summer as a claim emerges on one condition.

It is believed that Tottenham will not part ways with their academy graduate unless they receive a fee of around £40 million for his services from any interested sides.

### The Latest: Hutton stunned by fee…

Speaking to [FI,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-crying-out-for-winks-upgrade-after-big-money-times-update-hutton/) former Spurs full-back Hutton has been left in disbelief at the amount Paratici wants for Winks – simply stating ‘wow’ in response to the £40m development.

“£40million, wow, that’s a lot of money,” he explained.

“I think he’s very tidy as a player, moves the ball about well – even if a lot of it is side to side.

“I’d be interested to see who is willing to pay £40million.

“It’s no slight on him, I do think he is a good player.

“The way Tottenham play, they are crying out for someone a bit more creative to set the likes of Kane, Son, Bergwijn, etc. on their way.

“You just wonder if Winks is that player.”

### The Verdict: Sell on?

Getting £40m for a player who has largely been bit-part over this last year is certainly a brilliant deal, and we believe Spurs should bite the hands off any side if an offer of that ilk comes in.

His homegrown status and age at just 25-year-old are certainly factors which could drive up his market value, but this mooted fee could potentially be a bit too much to ask of any team coming in for Winks.

Averaging a 90% pass success rate across both the Premier League and European competition since making his senior debut for Tottenham in 2014/2015 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143990/History/Harry-Winks)), you could argue there is some quality there.

However, is it enough to justify paying £40m?
