Growing in importance

Skipp spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Norwich City from Tottenham.

The youngster has made four starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League and has played once in the Carabao Cup for Spurs so far this season.

Skipp made 44 starts and one substitute appearance in the Championship for Norwich last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

Tottenham head coach Nuno clearly rates Skipp highly and is using him regularly.

Skipp will have to maintain the current high levels in the coming weeks and months to keep his place in the team.

What is clear from Nuno’s comments is that he will continue to preserve with Skipp and will allow the English youngster to grow and develop.
