Harry Winks could be in line for a shock call-up by SPAIN.

Tottenham midfielder Winks has Spanish grandparents and reports from Spain suggest their FA have been investigating whether he is interested and could be eligible.

Winks, 21, has played for England through the age groups from 17s to 20s, but has yet to play a competitive game for the under-21s.

But the Spanish interest will send alarm bells ringing at the FA who have been interested themselves at seeing if they could tie down British-based players.

The FA looked at Sevilla’s Steven N’Zonzi and also Celtic hot-shot Moussa Dembele to see if they could be nationalised.

They are well aware of the rules and there could now be a clamour for Winks whose form has been outstanding and is regarded as Tottenham’s next big prospect.
