Tottenham Hotspur FC news: Mauricio Pochettino calls Spurs starlet Harry Winks the 'perfect midfielder'

Mauricio Pochettino has hailed Harry Winks as the 'perfect midfielder' capable of helping Tottenham break down the league's most stubborn defences.

On Saturday, Spurs go up against Huddersfield, who boast the second best defensive record in the division so far, with their three goals conceded worse only than the two let in by Manchester City and Manchester United.

They might have a job stopping Harry Kane, who scored his first Champions League hat-trick against Apoel Nicosia on Tuesday, while also impressive in Cyprus was the 21-year-old Winks.

Winks was making only his second start of the season after recently recovering from an ankle injury but he was sharp, dynamic and creative in possession.
