# Tottenham Hotspur: Harry Winks reportedly wants to leave

**As per [CaughtOffside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/09/29/exclusive-tottenham-hotspur-midfielder-set-for-january-exit/), yet another Tottenham Hotspur player now wants to leave the club as a major update emerges on the future of midfielder Harry Winks.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs exit demands…

Over the summer, it’s safe to say there were a few Tottenham first team regulars linked with moves away from north London.

Indeed, the most high-profile of them all in Harry Kane informed Spurs of his desire to leave and compete for trophies on the biggest stages in world football ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12309404/harry-kane-again-tells-tottenham-he-wants-to-leave-as-manchester-city-manchester-united-chelsea-lie-in-wait)). As well as the England captain, club record signing Tanguy Ndombele also told the Lilywhites that he would like an N17 exit ([The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/20/tanguy-ndombele-tells-tottenham-wants-leave-will-left-against/)).

While both failed to get their wish, news has now emerged on yet another Tottenham player in Winks wanting to depart north London.

### The Lowdown: Winks update emerges…

As per [CaughtOffside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/09/29/exclusive-tottenham-hotspur-midfielder-set-for-january-exit/)‘s information, the Spurs midfielder is now ‘keen to move on due to a continued lack of playing time’.

They added that Spurs are now ‘set to offload’ the 25-year-old when the January transfer window opens, with club chiefs now willing to part company with the [ten-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/nationalmannschaft/spieler/249126/verein_id/3299) England international.

Despite no club making a formal approach, CaughtOffside expect ‘several sides’ to enter the race for Winks in three months’ time when the winter market opens for business.

### The Latest: Time to go?

It has been quite a long while since Spurs supporters have seen the best of Winks. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino once branded the player as ‘[amazing](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2019/january/mauricio-pochettino-on-harry-winks-post-fulham/%3Fgamp%3Dtrue)‘, but in the last year, he has arguably failed to make much of an impact on the field.

Jose Mourinho’s bit-part use of the midfielder last season is largely to blame but it seems that Nuno Espirito Santo isn’t that big of a fan either, having started him in just one Premier League game this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143990/History/Harry-Winks)).

While he is still fairly young and commands a somewhat respectable market value (£18m on [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-winks/profil/spieler/249126)), we believe that it’s time Tottenham look for buyers, with the 25-year-old eager to leave and unable to break into a team [whose form has collapsed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/spielplandatum/verein/148) over the last three weeks.
