LONDON -- Harry Winks finally feels comfortable in Tottenham's senior squad but the young midfielder is determined to keep his feet firmly on the ground ahead of another opportunity in Sunday's FA Cup third-round.
Since scoring on his first Premier League start against West Ham in November, Winks has made a further four starts, including two each in the Premier League and Champions League, and it was a sign of Mauricio Pochettino's faith in the 20-year-old that he played the final 16 minutes of Wednesday's win over Chelsea.
While many of Winks' peers were playing in a PL2 match at Spurs' Enfield training base on Friday, he was preparing for another start in this weekend's visit of Aston Villa, but he told reporters he is not getting carried away with his progress.
