Leeds United’s chances of signing Oliver Skipp from Spurs revealed after Archie Gray deal
A fresh update has emerged regarding Leeds United’s interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke is an admirer of the 23-year-old, especially considering he stood out in the German’s Norwich City side that won the Championship title in 2021.
The Whites are likely to be in the market for a new midfielder this summer, with youngster Archie Gray poised to sign for Tottenham and Glen Kamara attracting interest from Stade Rennais.
While Farke would no doubt be interested in reuniting with Skipp at Elland Road, it seems unlikely that a move will materialise this summer, according to football.london.
It is likely that a number of Premier League clubs would be keen on a move for Skipp if he is made available by Spurs this summer. Ange Postecoglou must also make sure he has enough players who can fill their homegrown quota for the Europa League next season before he sanctions a departure for Skipp.
The midfielder has made 106 first team appearances for Tottenham, including 24 games last season, although he is reaching the stage of his career where he will want to be a regular starter.
Farke may hope that his previous relationship with Skipp is enough to convince him to drop into the Championship, although that is highly unlikely with Premier League clubs keeping tabs on the 23-year-old.
