Harry Winks reportedly wants to stay in the Premier League ahead of a Tottenham Hotspur departure.
The Englishman made 30 appearances for Spurs last season, but following the arrivals of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, the 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order.
Winks is not part of Antonio Conte's plans for the season, and he is expected to leave the North London club before the transfer window closes.
He has recently been linked with a move to Serie A club Sampdoria, but according to the Evening Standard, Winks is keen to remain in the Premier League.
Everton and Leicester City were believed to be considering a move for the midfielder, but they have cooled their interest, while Nottingham Forest and Southampton are regarded as potential options for Winks.
Both Forest and the Saints are rumoured to be interested in the Tottenham man, and they could attempt to sign him before the transfer window closes. body check tags ::
