Tottenham in talks with 23-year-old over a new deal

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The 23-year-old’s future is up in the air and he has not been a regular starter for the Premier League club in recent seasons. He needs to move on in search of regular playing time, but a report from Football Insider claims that the player is now in advanced talks with the London club over a new contract.

Newly promoted side Leicester City are keen on signing the midfielder, but it seems that Tottenham are hoping to keep him at the club. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can secure an agreement soon.

Skipp is a talented young player with a bright future. With regular game time, he could develop into a reliable Premier League performer.

Tottenham must keep Oliver Skipp at the club

Tottenham need more quality and depth in the central midfield and keeping him at the club for now could prove to be wise decision. Tottenham are already lacking in depth and they need more options at their disposal.

They will be competing in the UEFA Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad. Keeping Skipp at their disposal would be ideal. The 23-year-old will hope to play more often next season and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can provide him with ample first-team action.

Skipp will probably seek assurances regarding game time before signing a new deal with Tottenham. It remains to be seen whether Spurs are prepared to provide him with that.

The midfielder will not want to sit on the bench at the North London club at this stage of his career.

Meanwhile, Spurs have already let Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg leave for Marseille on loan this summer. Rodrigo Bentancur has been linked with an exit as well. Keeping Skipp at the club makes all the more sense with multiple exit possibilities.

The new deal is expected to be signed this week. It remains to be seen whether Skipp can establish himself as a key player for the London club.
