A report from Football London has claimed that Harry Winks is unhappy with his current amount of playing time in the Premier League, but suggested that any decision about his Tottenham Hotspur future could be put off until the summer.

Winks has been one of those who has struggled for minutes in Jose Mourinho’s side. He has made four starts in the Europa League. However, he has only been named in Mourinho’s starting lineup three times in the top flight this term.

The Telegraph reported in November that Winks could consider his future in January.

Football London has now also suggested that the 24-year-old is not happy with how much time he is spending on the pitch.

However, it appears that a January exit is looking unlikely. That is because Football London is suggesting that a decision on his future is likely to be made in the summer.

TBR View: Keeping Winks for season makes a lot of sense

It is currently difficult to see Winks getting back into the starting lineup anytime soon. The partnership of Moussa Sissoko and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been developing superbly this season.

It is arguably a partnership that has been integral in taking Tottenham to the top of the table.

Nevertheless, holding onto Winks – who earns £50,000-a-week, according to Spotrac – looks incredibly smart. Like all other sides, Spurs will be bracing themselves for further injuries to key players over the coming months.

So Winks’s chance may come. He is a fantastic player to be able to bring into the fold.

And while he may not be best pleased to be closer to the periphery of the squad right now, he will surely need little convincing to see out the season with Tottenham threatening to achieve something special this year.
