Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are purring over footage of Oliver Skipp on loan at Norwich City.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been a revelation for the Championship leaders since joining them on a season-long loan from Spurs this past summer.

Perhaps the greatest measure of the Tottenham midfielder’s impact is the fact that he has started all 24 of the Canaries’ games in the second tier this season.

City boss Daniel Farke is clearly a big fan and it isn’t difficult to understand why, in light of some footage of the young lad today.

Skipp had a blinder in the 2-1 win away to Cardiff City this afternoon and one moment saw him breeze past a couple of home players following a marauding run from deep in his own half.

Not only does Skipp have a brilliant ability to tackle and superb range of passing, but his speed was evident today and here’s how some Tottenham supporters reacted to the clip on social media:

This spell in the Championship could be the making of Skipp.

To be only 20 and a mainstay in a team pushing for promotion will do wonders for his development and there’s every chance he could stay with Jose Mourinho’s senior side next term.
