International career

[edit]

Winks has represented England up to senior level. Before this, he was eligible to represent Spain as well as England.[49] He was part of the under-20 squad for the Mercedes-Benz Elite Cup in Germany in 2015.[50] Winks made his under-21 debut on 14 November 2016 where he started in England's friendly 3–2 defeat to France.[51]

On 2 October 2017, Winks received his first call up to the senior England squad, for their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania.[52] He made his debut when starting in England's 1–0 away win over Lithuania, which was the team's final match in their successful 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Phil McNulty of BBC Sport stated that, on the night, Winks was "England's best performer. Neat and tidy and almost scored. Eye-catching among so much mediocrity".[53] Winks missed the World Cup due to injury, but returned to the England squad in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League away match against Spain. He helped England to a 3–2 win, the first competitive home defeat for Spain since 2003 and England's first win in Spain in 31 years, in what was judged a "self-assured" performance.[54]

Winks scored his first goal for England on 17 November 2019 in a 4–0 win against Kosovo in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying.[55]

Style of play

[edit]

Winks plays as a central or defensive midfielder.[56] Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said "When we talk about midfielders – because you like to use Spanish midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta – he's like this type of player",[57] describing Winks as "completely different to our other midfielders like Victor Wanyama, Eric Dier, Mousa Dembélé and Moussa Sissoko. He has qualities to add to the team that are completely different".[26] Talksport remarked that following his breakthrough for club and country, Winks was "seen as a potential difference-maker for the Three Lions due to his very individual skill set", with Winks earning comparisons with foreign midfielders rather than his English contemporaries.[57]

Ex-England and Spurs midfielder Danny Murphy said in September 2018 that the England team should be built around Winks, citing his performance for Tottenham against Real Madrid in the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage as evidence: "The one who I think has got the capability, more than anyone else I have seen, is [Harry] Winks. What he showed in that game in Madrid, in both games when he was fit and at it, was a confidence and an ability to play. To see the passes, to get his foot in and be disciplined and mix that mix of midfield talent that you need [...] for me, Winks is one of the best I've seen when he's at it – in terms of his all-round ability."[58] ESPN FC's Ben Pearce opined in 2018: "England are still missing a deep-lying playmaker [...] Those wondering who could possibly fill the void have obviously forgotten Winks, who excels at keeping possession with quick, short passes".[59]

In the 2023-24 Championship season with Leicester City, he achieved a 93.1% passing completion rate across 46 appearances.

His preference for short passes and layoffs further highlights a style focused on maintaining control and tempo.

Tactical role

Harry Winks primarily operates as a deep-lying , or regista, stationed at the base of midfield in formations such as the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, where he dictates the tempo of play by controlling possession and initiating attacks from deep positions. At Leicester City, this role has seen him form part of a double pivot, dropping deep to receive the ball and progress it forward with high accuracy, often ranking in the top percentiles for progressive passes and completed passes per game. In secondary capacities, Winks has demonstrated versatility as a box-to-box or central , contributing to defensive screening by winning duels and intercepting plays while occasionally surging forward to support attacks. His positional discipline allows him to adapt within these roles, providing balance in midfield structures that emphasize quick transitions and space exploitation.
