'It was difficult': £10m player says he seriously lost his confidence when he was at Tottenham
Today at 04:15 AM
Leicester City face Arsenal this weekend, and this is a game that may mean a lot to a couple of the Foxes' key players.
Indeed, both Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp will head into this game bang up for it as the two Tottenham academy graduates try to get one over Arsenal.
Speaking to Stadium Astro ahead of this game, Harry Winks has been discussing his time at Tottenham, and, interestingly, he aired a couple of frustrations.
During this interview, he noted how Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte's styles didn't really suit him, while he said that his confidence took a serious knock towards the end of his time at Spurs as he struggled for minutes.
Harry Winks' confidence was dented
Winks spoke about how he felt towards the end of his time at Tottenham.
"It was quite a frustrating time for you in terms of getting minutes, would you say your confidence was at its lowest at that point?" Winks was asked.
"Yeah. It would be yeah. I've said it before it was difficult because you know when you want to play regularly and you want to show the club, the fans, the manager what you can do and you don't get regular gametime, it's always difficult," Winks said.
"It was always tough to perform and play my best football, so my confidence was definitely at its lowest in that spell, but that's why I made the decision to leave and try to find football elsewhere."
Harry Winks is rebuilding
Harry Winks deserves a lot of credit for making that £10m move to Leicester City.
This is a player who was starting a Champions League final just a few years ago, but he wasn't too proud to turn down a move to the Championship to rebuild his career.
His first season at Leicester was a success, and he will be hoping to build on that this term.
Winks has regained his confidence now, and he'll be hoping to kick on this season and help lead Leicester to safety.
Who knows? Perhaps Winks could get one over Arsenal on Saturday as he heads back to north London for the first time since leaving Spurs.
