By virtue of the fact Tottenham Hotspur gem Oliver Skipp has started every league game out on loan this season, you could say it’s going pretty well for the youngster.

Spurs loaned the 20-year-old midfielder to Norwich City in the Championship this past summer.

And so far, Skipp has started each of the Canaries’ 16 league games so far, including Saturday’s 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

This is exactly what Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho – who referred to Skipp as a future captain of the North Londoners – will have wanted when he sanctioned the temporary move.

And his form certainly hasn’t escaped fans of the Carrow Road club.

Skipp impressed again in the win over the Owls, managing 94 touches and 93 percent passing accuracy.

In addition that, the Lilywhites’ academy player clocked one chance created and four successful long balls, illustrating that he’s a bit more than just a no-nonsense defensive midfielder.

Here’s how Norwich supporters reacted to his display on Saturday:
