Leicester City Want to Sign ‘Unbelievable’ Tottenham Player Who’s Open to Leaving

Newly promoted Leicester City are interested in signing a Tottenham Hotspur player this summer. Spurs are expected to part ways with several players in the coming weeks. Ange Postecoglou has already allowed Tanguy Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Joe Rodon, and Troy Parrott to leave the club, but more departures are anticipated.

One Tottenham player attracting significant interest is Oliver Skipp, with Leicester City keen to sign him.

Leicester City Want to Sign Oliver Skipp from Tottenham

Oliver Skipp’s future at Tottenham is uncertain. The talented Englishman joined Spurs’ development center at just five years old, playing in every age group and always seen as a star in the making. Skipp, praised as ‘unbelievable’ by Daniel Farke, has made over 100 appearances for Tottenham’s senior side, a notable achievement at 23 years old. However, he hasn’t secured a regular starting spot.

Under Postecoglou in the 2023/24 season, Skipp made 24 appearances, with only seven starts, playing less than 900 minutes in all competitions. This has fueled rumors of a potential move, and Sky Sports reports that Leicester City is among the clubs keen to sign Skipp this summer.

The report suggests that Skipp is open to leaving Spurs for regular football, but there is a complication.

Why Tottenham Are Against Selling Skipp

Despite not being a regular starter, Tottenham is hesitant to sell Skipp because of his homegrown status. Sky Sports reveals that Skipp ‘fills a crucial spot in the squad as a club-trained player, which Spurs need four of in their Europa League squad’ next season. This is the main reason Tottenham wants to keep him, but this could change if Spurs sign more homegrown players before the window closes. Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher and Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey have been linked with moves to Tottenham.
