Dean Windass has exclusively told Football FanCast that Leeds could do a lot worse than signing Harry Winks, who he thinks is a Marcelo Bielsa type player.

Winks has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho, and after being strongly linked away in January, is now being monitored by a La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, making a Spurs exit likely this summer.

The midfielder has also lost his place in the England squad after starting just four times in the Premier League since September, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele being Mourinho's favoured central midfield pairing at present.

Winks' only outing in the last month came in Tottenham's embarrassing Europa League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, and if his opportunities don't improve before the end of the season he might have no choice but to depart his beloved Spurs.

Despite previous interest from Valencia, staying in England would appear favourable for Winks, who received high praise from Frank Lampard back in 2017.

And Windass told Football FanCast that Leeds would be a good destination for the central midfielder, but only with Marcelo Bielsa in charge:

"I think if Bielsa does stay and brings in his own players, they will be a top four or top six side, and Harry Winks could get into any of them teams. He's Bielsa's sort of player.

"Is he going to play to two sitting midfield players? But Winks can get forward as well. Phillips was once a right-back and now he's turned him into an England international sitting midfield player. The manager is obviously good on the training ground at developing players.

"I don't think Leeds United players would say no."
