The midfielder has made the Tottenham Hotspur bench twice in recent weeks.
Oliver Skipp’s omission from the Tottenham Hotspur Under-23s’ squad to play Leicester City on Friday has got Spurs fans talking.
Skipp has been a regular for Tottenham’s second string over the past two campaigns, and earned a place on the bench for the recent first team fixtures against Cardiff City and Barcelona.
Spurs were without Mousa Dembele, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli for those games, but even though the former pair are fit to return against West Ham United on Saturday, it would appear Skipp’s services might still be required by Mauricio Pochettino.
Here is what is being said on Twitter…
Born in Welwyn Garden City and raised in Hertford, Skipp is in only his second year as a professional at Tottenham, and turned 18 last month.
The deep-lying midfielder is known for his range of passing and made his non-competitive debut during Spurs’ pre-season tour of the United States.
Should Skipp get a run out for Tottenham on Saturday?
