Harry Winks - The promise of youth

Tottenham made the trip to Cyprus with many absentees; some due to suspension, and some due to injuries. Among the notable absentees was the midfielder Mousa Dembele, who was out due to a foot injury.

However, no Mousa, no problem, as in came the 21-year-old Harry Winks. The youngster put together an eye-catching performance. At some points, he showed his control and acceleration with the ball as he carried the ball forward despite APOEL’s midfielders surrounding him.
