After finding himself lower in the pecking order at Spurs, the 27-year-old spent the previous season on loan at Sampdoria.


For nine years, Winks made 203 appearances for Tottenham and earned 10 caps for the England national team.

"I'm really excited for the challenge ahead. It's an amazing club with great history and the facilities are incredible," said Winks.

"I'm also looking forward to a new challenge and to challenge myself. Coming to a club like Leicester is the perfect chance to do that."

After being demoted to the Championship last season, Leicester is attempting to return to the Premier League.

Winks' transfer marks the second agreement between the two organizations this week after James Maddison switched teams and signed with Tottenham for £40 million.
