Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca has been full of praise for midfielder Harry Winks following his winning goal against QPR.
Up against the Queens Park Rangers, Leicester City managed to secure yet another win to put them 14 points clear of third.
Under Enzo Maresca, the Foxes have lost just one game and have gone on to win the rest with some special goals.
The game at Loftus Road was no different as Harry Winks scored a delicious curling effort to secure three points.
Following his signing from Tottenham Hotspur over the summer he has played every game, only missing seven Championship minutes.
What has Enzo Maresca said about Harry Winks?
It is clear that Winks has become a favourite under the new Foxes boss given his appearance numbers this season.
His stats this season make him one of the most consistent passers and progressive carriers of the ball. Perfect for Maresca’s system.
Obviously, the Leicester manager knew what he was getting. Talking to Leicestershire Live, he said: “When I met the club for the first time, he was the first name I told them.”
“He was the main player because, with this idea, Harry Winks is an unbelievable player. I saw him at Spurs, I saw him last year in Italy. With us and with this idea, he’s an unbelievable player.”
Given the investment the Foxes made in Winks, he could have struggled to meet expectations. With that being said he has more than made up for it.
Maresca continued on to say: “I’m happy for Harry because he deserves it. The way he works on the ball and off the ball, every day trying to learn, it’s fantastic.”
He has been a great signing, as have all the players recruited so far this season.
The Foxes have made a great start and long may it continue under the tutelage of Maresca, with Winks the general in midfield.
