Harry Winks outlines Rodrigo Bentancur's strengths and sends Dejan Kulusevski Tottenham message

Harry Winks is confident that new Tottenham signing Rodrigo Bentancur will be a big success in N17 due to two of his standout attributes.

Arriving in north London with a winning mentality due to his Serie A success at Juventus, Winks believes that Bentancur's physical and technical attributes can see him thrive in the Premier League over the coming years.

Winks, speaking exclusively to at a William Hill event, said: "He's a good player. He's been at a big club so he has that mentality coming into the team.

"He has only been in the club for a couple of weeks now so he's still learning how the manager wants us to play etc.

"There's always competition from everyone in midfield. It's not just me, there's four of us all competing for a spot," explained the academy graduate.

"That's
