Harry Winks: Leicester City midfielder's passing ability crucial in promotion push

Midfielder Harry Winks says he is keeping a close eye on his passing statistics as Leicester City look to secure promotion to the Premier League.

They moved 12 points clear at the top of the Championship following Tuesday's 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

And the former Tottenham player has made more than 2,600 passes in the league this season, with 90% accuracy.

"I'm proud of that, it's what I'm in the team to do," 28-year-old Winks told BBC Radio Leicester.

"Others are in the team to score and assist - my job is to keep us ticking, help us control the game.
