Sevilla are reportedly considering a shock move for Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks this summer.
The Spurs academy product, who has 10 England caps, has played a peripheral role under Antonio Conte since the Italian manager’s arrival in November and is expected to depart north London ahead of next season.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will listen to offers for the 26-year-old this summer, and it is believed a fee of between £20m-£25m will be enough to land a player who has been at Spurs since the age of five.

The LaLiga side are willing to offer the playmaker a chance to revive his career in a league that would suit his technical ability, according to The Sun.
There seems to be plenty of potential takers for Winks with Southampton and Newcastle understood to have interest in the midfielder.
The report also suggests Fulham and Everton are also interested in the England international.

Winks, who has made over 200 appearances for Spurs and played in the 2019 Champions League final, became a key part of England boss Gareth Southgate’s plans during Mauricio Pochettino’s reign at Tottenham.
But his lack of action at Spurs means he is stuck on 10 international caps, despite showing glimpses of his quality early on in Conte’s reign, especially in their 2-2 draw with Liverpool in December.
He has since fallen well down the pecking order with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and January recruit Rodrigo Bentancur shining in the midfield as Spurs qualified for the Champions League.

Oliver Skipp also appears to be ahead of Winks, therefore it could be a good time for him to leave north London, especially if he wants to give himself any hope of making England’s World Cup squad.
Winks’ current contract runs until the summer of 2024, but it seems unlikely that he will stay at the club until his contract expires.
Spurs will look to offload a number of players this summer. Tanguy Ndombele, Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso, who all spent the second half of the season on loan, are expected to be sold.
Likewise, the futures of Steven Bergwijn, Sergio Reguilon and Joe Rodon are also unclear heading into the summer transfer window as boss Conte looks to rebuild his squad.
