Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are really liking the look of Oliver Skipp.

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

And Skipp has been an ever-present figure for the Canaries, starting all nine of their league games so far.

Earlier today, the youngster, rated as a future Tottenham captain by Mourinho, helped City to a 3-1 win away to Bristol City.

According to WhoScored, Skipp won four aerial duels, managed three clearances and clocked a successful pass rate of 83.9 percent.

The young defensive midfielder looks to have a very bright future in the sport.

And here’s how some Tottenham supporters reacted on social media to his display this afternoon:

Mourinho has an abundance of midfield options right now, including Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko to name but a few.

Loaning him out was certainly the right choice and hopefully he’ll come back to North London as a better, more rounded player.
