Danny Murphy Believes Tottenham Youngster Harry Winks Could Be the Key to England's Future

Danny Murphy has stated that he believes Tottenham youngster Harry Winks is the player who can inject some much needed creativity into the England midfield.

England's road to the World Cup semi-finals was an overwhelming success, but fans and pundits alike realised that the one thing the Three Lions were missing was a little bit of creativity which could unlock the opposition's defence in the final third. This was lacking once again, in England's UEFA Nations League defeat to Spain.

Speaking on the Jim White show, Murphy - who himself earned nine caps for England - said that Winks is ''one of the best I have ever seen'' in the English game.
