Leicester City have officially agreed on a deal to sign Oliver Skipp from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent transfer. This exciting move sees the 23-year-old midfielder undergoing a medical today as both clubs finalize the transfer, which is valued at over £20 million.
Details of Skipp's Career at Spurs
Skipp made a significant impact during his time at Spurs, clocking up 24 appearances last season, although most of them were as a substitute under manager Ange Postecoglou.
