Newcastle have been linked with a loan swoop for Tottenham’s Harry Winks before the end of the transfer window.
England international Winks has fallen out of favour at Spurs under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
That will further harm his international prospects. He was left out of Euro 2020 and won’t expect to be in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the forthcoming internationals.
He needs regular gametime and Newcastle need a new central midfielder to put their foot on the ball.
The mood around the club has worsened after the EFL Cup elimination at the hands of Burnley last night.
A boost is needed and some Newcastle fans on Twitter were reasonably enthused by the links.
Winks has good technical ability and has played in the Champions League final for Spurs in 2019.
Here’s how the rumours went down on Twitter despite the general feeling of despondency on the back of the poor start to the season and the result last night:
