Sent to Sampdoria for the season to get some game time under his belt, Harry Winks hasn’t had a chance to show what he can do away from Tottenham.
The player, who has only featured for Spurs in his career to date, has been sidelined with an ankle injury throughout the first half of the season, leading him to have surgery on it to try and return in time for the second part of the campaign.
Everything appears to be on track in that regard, and the player even insisted to go to Turkey with the Sampdoria squad on their tour to train with his teammates and get a feel for everything.
However, that doesn’t mean he will play for the Serie A side, as Club Doria 46 hint that he could return to Tottenham early in January.
That would only happen ‘if there are no significant improvements’ regarding his injury in the coming weeks, and ‘his conditions will be carefully evaluated this month’.
However, if no progress is visible, Winks ‘could return to London as early as the winter transfer window’, leaving Antonio Conte and Tottenham with the task of either integrating back into the Spurs squad or finding him a new club for the second half of the campaign.
If that were to happen, he would leave Sampdoria without ever making an appearance for them.
