Postecoglou has seen Lucas Moura leaving on a free after his contract ran out and could be joined by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has been linked with Atletico Madrid.
Winks is the next to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he joined Leicester‘s bid for an immediate return to the Premier League.
And the midfielder insists he is ready for the challenge that awaits him at King Power Stadium.
Winks told LCFC TV: “I’m delighted. I’m really excited for the challenge ahead.
“It’s an amazing club with great history and the facilities are incredible. I’m just so happy to be here and ready to get going.
“I’m looking forward to getting started, to have a full pre-season with the team and come here early to get ready for the games coming up.
“It’s going to be an important few weeks to get everyone ready and to push myself getting fit.
“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.”

Tottenham also confirmed Winks’ exit and wished him “all the best for the future”.
The England international started out at the North Londoners’ academy and made his senior debut in 2014.
The 27-year-old amassed a total of five goals and six assists in 203 appearances.
Winks spent last season on loan at Sampdoria where he played 20 times but couldn’t save them from the drop.
