On Wednesday, the rumours surrounding a potential Harry Winks exit were gaining pace, with Sampdoria said to be leading the pack.
The player, who has never featured for any club other than Tottenham in his career, was said to be wanting a couple of days to think it over, and Gazzetta dello Sport provide a few more details on Thursday.
They start off by saying ‘cautious optimism filters in Genoa’ regarding the possibility of the green light arriving ‘in the next few hours’, which would be for a loan until the end of the season.
To try and get things over the line, it’s said ‘there will be new contact today with the London management’, who are themselves waiting to find out what the Tottenham midfielder wants.
Down his end, he also ‘doesn’t rule out staying in England’, while there is potential interest from AS Roma.
If there is a need to make ‘an economic sacrifice’, that will be done by Sampdoria as long as they stay ‘within the limits of the budget’ imposed by those in charge of such matters.
Either way, it appears we could get an answer on Thursday regarding this Tottenham saga, which could be a rather quick open and shut case in a world where certain stories drag on for weeks.
