Leicester go for Tottenham midfielder Winks as rival interest dries up

Leicester City are moving for Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks.

The Foxes are targeting Winks as a replacement for wantaway Youri Tielemans.

Speaking to the podcast Last Word on Spurs, London journalist Sami Mokbel said, "I definitely know that there are other Premier League clubs interested in Harry Winks, one certainly being Leicester.

"I think Leicester have certainly got a keen interest in Harry Winks. He's a Brendan Rodgers-type of player.

"He's comfortable on the ball, comfortable in possession, and can find a pass. So if the price is right and the deal is right, I think that deal will have legs and could have legs moving forward for sure."

Everton and Leeds were looking into the signing of Winks, but the Yorkshire side have since added two players to that area of the field, and Frank Lampard is said to be looking elsewhere.
