Jose Mourinho is a huge fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s Oliver Skipp, according to Football London.
Skipp has been kept around Tottenham’s first-team all season now, with Mourinho opting not to loan the 19-year-old out in January.
The central midfielder has actually made four Premier League appearances for Spurs this campaign, with the North London club regarding him as one of their most promising prospects.
And it is claimed by Football London that Skipp is only likely to leave Tottenham if a Premier League club come in for him.
Mourinho apparently rates Skipp so highly that he would rather keep the youngster in his squad than loan him out to a lower level.
Skipp may well be pushing for more regular football next term, and he could yet be seen again this campaign.
With Tottenham facing a busy schedule after the Premier League returns, Mourinho’s squad is sure to be tested, and that could provide Skipp with an opportunity, if the Portuguese boss does need to rotate.
