Mauricio Pochettino has seen a raft of his Tottenham players earn international honours while several of his former Southampton players, in particular Adam Lallana, have gone on to become integral members of the England set-up.

Winks joined a long list of Tottenham's side, including the likes of influential midfielders Dele Alli and Eric Dier, to be picked for England selection in the past couple of years with Pochettino coaching 10 out of the last 18 England debutants.

"I feel very proud about that," said Pochettino. "After five years in England I feel it is the way to say thank you to everyone and give the possibility to English talent to play in the national side."
