Football Insider recently reported about Skipp’s situation at Spurs, saying that the Lilywhites are planning a key first-team role for the young midfielder in the 2021/22 campaign. There is a belief from Jose Mourinho and his staff that Skipp could well be a Premier League-ready talent next season and his development at Norwich City has been monitored rather closely.

Mourinho has previously been full of praise for Skipp, having once described him as a ‘future captain’ of the club as well.
The news about Spurs’ stance on Skipp was relayed on Twitter by The Spurs Express. Many Tottenham fans made their views clear about the youngster.

A lot of Spurs fans are delighted by this update and they believe that Skipp is better than Harry Winks.
Winks’ future has come into question at Spurs already, with clubs in Spain interested in the Englishman. He has also been linked with a move to Manchester United and Man City in the past.
So if Winks does leave, Skipp could come in and play some first-team football and potentially replace the 25-year-old.
