Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks: I want 15 year career

Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks accepts solid club form is key to staying in the England squad.

Winks could start against Spain in Seville.

He told the club's website: “In terms of my life, playing for England is one of the proudest moments I've ever had. I suppose it's something like that for you as well. When you go out there and represent your country, it's a feeling that you can never really replicate. All I want now is more of those opportunities but, to play for England, you've got to be playing well at club level before you can even be considered for that.

"That's my aim and ambition over the next 10 to 15 years of my career. The most important thing is working hard at Tottenham and staying in the team at Spurs, improving as a player, learning how to get better and trying to keep myself in the team for a long time.

"In terms of your game back at club level, though, you know more than anyone, as a midfielder, you have to have vision and awareness in a Premier League game, especially with the intensity, and you have to deal with the pressure when you are being pressed from all angles. When you were playing, what was your mindset around how to deal with that?"
