A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are not happy with the news that Oliver Skipp might be staying at Spurs due to the injury suffered by Moussa Sissoko that will keep the Frenchman out till April.
Indeed, rather than going out on loan Skipp could be kept with the squad as a backup for Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele and Eric Dier.
Is Skipp a good enough replacement for Sissoko?
Yes
No
This has got many fans talking.
The Athletic understand Moussa Sissoko's injury could mean Oliver Skipp stays at Tottenham Hotspur this month rather than going out on loan. #THFC pic.twitter.com/PXKs2UyFye

What do we think?
Skipp, who is valued at £7.2m by Transfermarkt, has made six appearances for Spurs this season.
The plan was to loan him out to ensure that he got some regular first-team action.
However, according to the Athletic Jose Mourinho is prepared to keep Skipp for the second half of the season and use him as cover for the first team.
Sissoko is an important player for Tottenham, and this injury could be a big blow to their season.
