The summer transfer window is still a few months away, but that hasn’t stopped speculation surrounding potential signings for Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.

The latest name linked with both clubs is Copenhagen winger Robert Skov, with Sky Sports reporting that the London duo are vying for his signature this summer.

Skov has been taking Danish football by storm, and with Watford and Wolves also believed to be keen, it seems that he will be moving on this summer.

Some fans may not be too familiar with Skov, so here are five things to know about the wide man ahead of a possible move to the Premier League at the end of the season.

1. Skov, 22, came up through the youth ranks at Silkeborg, the same club that produced current Ajax striker Kasper Dolberg.

2. Rather than move on to a huge club outside of Denmark like Dolberg, Skov moved on to Copenhagen in 2018 after 23 goals in 102 games.

3. Since joining Copenhagen in January 2018, Skov has been a sensation, scoring 24 goals in 38 games this season whilst also adding six assists.

4. Skov has been a regular for Denmark in youth levels, but has remarkably yet to earn a first senior cap alongside Christian Eriksen, despite being in their preliminary World Cup squad.

5. Skov is a tall, rangy winger with a dangerous left foot, and he has built up a real reputation in Denmark as a set piece genius, with the video below showcasing a whole host of free kick goals from Skov, meaning he could take over Eriksen’s role if Spurs sign him.
