Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp has been praised for the steel that he’s shown in the Championship this season.
But it looks like there’s also a bit of silk there, too.
Skipp has been a revelation for Championship leaders Norwich City, who beat Rotherham United 1-0 this afternoon to move seven points clear at the summit.
There’s a lot of excitement at Tottenham regarding the 20-year-old, who showed another side of his game today.
In one instance in the final 10 minutes, Skipp showed that he’s a bit more than just a tough-tackling midfielder with a brilliant Zidane pirouette to get himself out of trouble.
And here’s how some fans of the North London club reacted to the moment of brilliance on Twitter after the game.
It looks pretty certain that Norwich are going to try sign Skipp on a permanent basis whatever happens, but they’ll fail.
He is absolutely going back to Spurs this summer and few would be surprised if he stays in the senior squad for the Premier League next season.
Bear in mind the youngster already has 15 top-flight games under his belt and he might just get a lot more next term.
