Harry Winks has stated that he has not heard from anyone at Tottenham during his Sampdoria loan spell. One of four players not part of Antonio Conte’s plans for the 2022/23 campaign, the midfielder finally departed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of August following plenty of speculation regarding his next move.
Harry Winks said: “No one from Tottenham has contacted me, not even the coach. I was and remain totally focused on Sampdoria.”
On his Sampdoria loan and what the future holds,
Harry Winks added: “I have a loan contract until June, I’m satisfied with this experience, I don’t know what my future will be after June and I don’t even think about it now. I’m only looking at the next match, but I was pleased to have made this choice last year. I’m proud of it. And I repeat it today, beyond the current difficulties.”
Sampdoria face a major battle to maintain their place in Serie A as they are currently 12 points adrift of safety with games quickly starting to run out. Their league position may have looked different had Winks, who has made an impact in the team since his return from injury, not watched from the sidelines in the first 13 league games of his Sampdoria loan.
Harry Winks said: “I simply believe that if I had played from the start, without my physical problems, I certainly would have done everything possible to help the team, but I don’t want to think that my presence would have been so fundamental. This is a great team, regardless of what has happened and is happening, and I’m just one of the elements that make it up. Let’s not forget that.”
