Harry Winks has been bulking up in the gym and was able to flex his muscles in Tottenham's win over Aston Villa

Harry Winks has been hitting the gym with a personalised plan in a bid to bulk up for the physicality of the Premier League.

The 20-year-old has put on 5kg and was told by Mauricio Pochettino in the summer that he would not be sent out on loan, because the Argentine coach wants to keep a close eye on how he trains.

With the FA Cup not Pochettino’s top priority, he handed Winks a start here, as the boyhood Tottenham fan and his team-mates looked to see off the threat from Aston Villa.
