When Tottenham Hotspur loaned out Oliver Skipp last summer, this is the ideal scenario that they had in mind.
Spurs sent the 20-year-old to Norwich City on a season-long loan and now the Canaries are on the brink of Premier League promotion.

City hammered Huddersfield Town 7-0 on Tuesday night and although Skipp wasn’t on the scoresheet, he did have perhaps the most eye-catching moment of anybody in the match.
