Tottenham midfielder Winks: Conte tactics had me ready for Sampdoria

Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks has made it clear that he is focusing on his loan spell at Sampdoria at present.

Winks was asked about his future at Tottenham and his relationship with manager Antonio Conte.

The midfielder has struggled with injuries during a loan spell at the Italian club this season.

"The manager I still get on really well," said Winks on his relationship with Conte to Football Daily.

"There was no animosity with the club leaving, it was just about me wanting to play football regularly.

"Lots of his tactics, lots of his ways of thinking, there's lot of similarities out here and it has definitely served me well in that sense coming out here because I understand the way he likes to think.

“The way he likes to play is very similar to Serie A and it has definitely helped me since coming here to settle in and adjust to the style and tactics."
