‘It’s possible...’ - Sky Sports man reacts to £20m news he's now heard from Tottenham

Sky Sports pundit Alex McLeish has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur starlet Harry Winks could be targeted by Premier League new-boys Nottingham Forest this summer.

The 26-year-old is an academy product of the Lilywhites having worked his way up through the ranks since joining the club ten years ago, to now being a member of the first team where he’s made a total of 203 senior appearances.

Even though the midfield maestro still has another two years remaining on his current contract which is set to expire in 2024, Football Insider revealed earlier this week that Spurs are willing to listen to offers for the midfielder during the upcoming transfer window and are looking to receive a fee somewhere in the region of £20m.

McLeish claims that freshly promoted sides like Forest would be interested in securing the signing of someone like Winks, but suggests that the asking price could be too much. He told Football Insider:

“There will only be a certain club who will pay that sort of money.

“It’s possible that teams who have come from the Championship, Nottingham Forest might look at Harry Winks or someone like that.

“He’s certainly got the good experience for some of the teams at a lower level than Tottenham.

“But £20million seems quite high, especially for a guy who’s been out the team for almost the entire season.”

Steve Cooper’s side made the jump up to the Premier League after securing a 1-0 victory against Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final at Wembley last month, meaning that they will now be playing their football in the top division for the first time in 23 years.

The Hemel Hempstead-born talent played 28 times in all competitions throughout the 2021/22 season, but only 15 of those outings were starts,
