Harry Winks set for transfer uncertainty and heading back to Tottenham with skint Sampdoria unable to afford on-loan ace
HARRY WINKS will be on the lookout for a new club this summer with Sampdoria’s financial problems ruling out a permanent move.
Midfielder Winks, 27, has been on loan at the Serie A side this season from Tottenham.
He missed the first half of the season with an ankle problem but has been a regular since returning in January.
There was no obligation to buy in his loan terms but even if he wanted to move permanently, Sampdoria would not be able to afford it.
The Italian outfit are at risk of going bankrupt and have had issues just paying players and staff.
They also look set to be relegated this season given they are ten points from safety with ten games to go.
Winks will return in the summer to parent club Spurs, where he will still have a year to go on this contract.
But even though there could be a new manager in place at the North Londoners by then, SunSport understands the midfielder is likely to be on the move again.
Winks revealed he was not contacted by anyone at Spurs despite suffering a lengthy injury.
He said: “I feel indebted to Sampdoria, if I had been available from the start I would have given my all.

“The club has always supported me, it was important for my ankle to fully heal.
“No one from Spurs has contacted me, not even the coach.”
