The Independent have revealed that the reason Harry Winks’ move to Leicester City has not yet been confirmed is down to the fact that the midfielder’s loan spell at Sampdoria only officially ends today.
Winks now looks set to leave his boyhood club, with reports first emerging earlier this week that the England international is expected to head to Leicester City in a completely separate transfer from the one which brought James Maddison to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (The Evening Standard).
Alasdair Gold took to social media to reveal on Wednesday the deal to take Winks to the Foxes would be worth £10m while Fabrizio Romano stated on Thursday that the 27-year-old is set to undergo medical before signing on the dotted line with the side which suffered relegation to the Championship at the end of the last campaign. Winks has found first-team opportunities limited in recent seasons and spent the last campaign on loan in Serie A with Sampdoria and has been allowed to depart with just a year left on his contract to run.
On top of injury problems, it was a season to forget for the player after his side suffered relegation from the Italian top-flight. 
New Leicester boss Enzo Maresca is said to believe that Winks has the ability and versatility to be a key cog in his side as they look to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking under their new manager.
