Tottenham transfer news: Four Spurs stars Jose Mourinho may accept in Nicolo Zaniolo swap | Football | Sport
Oliver Skipp
The midfielder has been threatening to make his full-blooded breakthrough into Spurs’ senior side for some years now, but Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have proven tough to displace in the middle of the park. Now past his 22nd birthday, Skipp played more league matches during one season on loan at Norwich City than he has managed in his entire Tottenham career.
Mourinho was a fan of the youngster during his time in north London, referring to him as a ‘future captain’ and adding: “He’s one of these players by human quality, by personality, he is one of these kids that I have no doubt he will be an important player for Tottenham.”
