Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks is hopeful of being fit in time for the new season and has booked in a "pre-season before a pre-season" in order to ensure he meets his goal.
The 21-year-old Academy graduate's breakthrough 2016/17 season was ended in April by an ankle injury. But he is working extra hard to be ready for the opening match of 2017/18 against Newcastle United.
"I’ll be in a good 10 days or so before everyone, just getting myself fit, testing my ankle and making sure it’s okay to go back into full training," Winks told tottenhamhotspur.com.
“I’ve almost got a pre-season before a pre-season just to get myself fit so hopefully I can come back in the best shape I can possibly be in."
