OPINION
Spurs certainly have looked a better team when Winks has been involved this season and it’s remarkable to see how quickly he has become a crucial player in the first team. The youngster developed from the club’s academy and is the latest rising star to be nurtured by brilliant man-manager Pochettino. His return couldn’t be more timely as they face a crucial match against a very strong Watford team and Spurs need their best XI on the pitch. The north London club have slipped down to seventh in the league table after a poor run of form and have even been overtaken by high flying Burnley. Spurs need to quickly get back to winning ways to remain in the top four race and Winks could be a catalyst at the weekend.
