Not Alli, Murphy surprisingly says this is the best young English player

Football pundit Danny Murphy has claimed that Tottenham youngster Harry Winks is the best young midfielder in England.

Winks was one of the more impressive players for Spurs this week as they went o to claim a creditable 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in a Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Winks certainly does look like he could be a promising player for both the England national team as well as Spurs going into the future. However he still is very inexperienced and still needs to work hard to prove himself at the highest level.

Murphy is encouraged by what he has seen of the youngster thus far and said: “Harry Winks’ performance against Real Madrid confirmed my belief that he is the best young midfielder in the country.

“Some would say that title should go to Dele Alli, but he plays much further forward than Winks these days, almost in line with Harry Kane.”
