Harry Kane has encouraged Harry Winks to remain patient and maintain his form for Tottenham as the 21-year-old bids to play his way into contention for his first senior England call-up.
Winks said during the summer that he "would love to play for England" this year, but he has had to settle for a place in the Under-21 squad during this international break.
Winks made 11 starts in all competitions last season, including two in the Champions League, but his breakthrough campaign was cut short in April when he suffered ankle ligament damage in an unfortunate fall against Burnley.
