Eddie Howe wants to sign a new midfielder and Winks is one of the names at the top of his wishlist.
The England international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of midfielder Eddie Howe wants to target in the winter transfer window.

The midfielder had also struggled for minutes playing for former managers Jose Mourinho and Nuno. The Mirror says despite his demotion, Winks still counts on plenty of admirers. Aston Villa and Everton are both keen, along with the new board at Newcastle, ahead of the January market.”
