Leicester City have completed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur star Oliver Skipp on a permanent deal.
According to different sources, Leicester City paid £25 million for the English star.
Skipp is expected to travel to Leicester City for the medicals on Monday, August 19, 2024. Tottenham Hotspur will play against the newly promoted Leicester City side that same day Skipp will be having his medicals.
Skipp’s move to Tottenham Hotspur will see him reunite with his former teammate Harry Winks, who left Tottenham Hotspur last year to join the Leicester City side even though they were playing in the Championship.
Harry Winks was instrumental to the success of Leicester City in the Championship, making significant impacts in creating chances, making interceptions, and scoring goals.
Skipp will fill the void left by former Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury Hall, who left the Foxes to join Chelsea.
The 23-year-old defensive midfielder was one of the exciting prospects who emerged from the Tottenham Hotspur academy.
The English star made the breakthrough into the Tottenham Hotspur first team under Mauricio Pochettino, and he continued to impress under Jose Mourinho.
Inclusively, he rose to fame under Antonio Conte when the Italian was the manager of Tottenham. However, he struggled to cement a regular place in the starting XI under Ange Postecoglou, who took charge of the North London club last season.
Since Skipp was promoted to the club’s first team, he has played 106 matches in all competitions for Tottenham.
