Tottenham Hotspur FC news: Harry Winks thanks Mauricio Pochettino for trusting young English players

Harry Winks has thanked Mauricio Pochettino for continuing to place his trust in young English talent.

Winks made his England debut in Sunday's 1-0 win over Lithuania, turning in an eye-catching performance in midfield despite having only four Premier League starts under his belt.

His integration in the first-team picture has been carefully handled by Pochettino, whose show of faith has helped spur the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Danny Rose into the senior set-up.

Winks is now angling to join his club-mates at next summer's World Cup and lays the credit at the door of his Argentinian boss.
