Attractive workers love me (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handsome

'attractive' is the definition.
(I know that handsome is a more specific form of the attribute attractive)

'workers love me' is the wordplay.
'workers' becomes 'hands' (hand is a kind of worker).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'hands'+'o'+'me'='HANDSOME'

(Other definitions for handsome that I've seen before include "Nomads he found to be good-looking" , "Attractive in a strong, imposing way" , "Pleasing to see" , "Nice-looking" , "Well-proportioned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
