LEICESTER have confirmed the signing of Harry Winks from Tottenham.
Winks joined the Foxes following a £10million deal with Spurs, whose new manager Ange Postecoglou has launched a summer clearout.
Postecoglou has seen Lucas Moura leaving on a free after his contract ran out and could be joined by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has been linked with Atletico Madrid.
