Winks: It’s a magical trophy
MAURICIO POCHETTINO said the FA Cup was not a priority for Tottenham earlier this season – but Harry Winks is hoping he changes his mind.
The Spurs’ boss made it clear the Premier League and Champions League were top of his agenda, with the cup a poor third.
But with the title now a vanished dream and Euro glory a tough ask – especially with Juventus around – Winks is keeping his fingers crossed the manager will think again.
The midfielder said: “For me, the FA Cup’s massively important. It is a magical trophy everyone wants to win in their career.”
At every Spurs’ home game the ‘Ossie’s Dream’ anthem is played – a reminder of Spurs’ great heritage in the cup.
“The cup is something we take very seriously,” Winks added. “As English players growing up, it is a bit more special.
“When the foreign lads arrive, they understand how important the FA Cup is. They understand what it means to the club and supporters.”
