Many Everton fans have been left fuming as some transfer news emerged on Harry Winks.
As per Caught Offside, a source from Tottenham Hotspur has now claimed that it will be a fight between the Toffees and Aston Villa to sign the midfielder on loan in the January transfer window.
Brighton and Hove Albion have also shown an interest, but it looks like it will be a battle between the other two Premier League clubs for his signature.
It can be argued that Winks would not be an upgrade on Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure in the centre of Everton’s midfield, given that he has averaged fewer tackles and dribbles than the Toffees duo in the Premier League so far this season.
Also, he has only managed to score four goals and make just five assists in 179 games over all competitions for Spurs (Transfermarkt).
