HARRY WINKS is considering a January Spurs exit, according to reports.
The homegrown midfielder is a boyhood Tottenham fan, having attended matches long before graduating the academy into the first-team.

But with his game time having dried up of late, The Mirror claim that the midfielder is open to a January move, in order to earn a place in Gareth Southgate’s England starting XI for the Euros.
Winks, 24, featured in all of the Three Lions’ matches during last month’s international break.
But with Southgate having reiterated that his stars need to be playing first-team football, Winks has grown ‘deeply frustrated’ with his situation at Spurs.
The season began well enough as he started Spurs’ opening three Premier League games.
But he has played just 17 minutes of league football since, and has made the substitute’s bench just once in the last five PL games.
He has largely remained a regular in the Europa League, even scoring in the 4-0 win over Ludogorets.
But he remained an unused substitute against LASK on Thursday night, leading to even more frustration.

Winks would not be short of suitors, should he become available.
Manchester City showed an interest in the summer, and he is likely to remain on Pep Guardiola’s radar.
Winks is just the latest Mauricio Pochettino-favourite to be frozen out at Spurs, with fellow star Dele Alli having appeared just once in the Premier League since the opening day.
