NASHVILLE -- Tottenham's Harry Winks says he would love to play for England this season after coming through the most difficult period of his career so far.
Winks made 11 starts in all competitions last season, including two in the Champions League, but his breakthrough campaign was cut short in April when he suffered ankle ligament damage in an unfortunate fall against Burnley.
The 21-year-old has been capped for England at Under-21 level and he was considered for a senior call-up by Gareth Southgate before the injury, despite suggestions he is also eligible for Spain.
The fit-again midfielder has ruled out switching allegiance, though, and says he is ready to kick-on for club and country this season after scoring in Spurs' 3-2 friendly defeat to Roma on Tuesday.
