Oliver Skipp's Transfer to Leicester City
Leicester City has announced the arrival of Oliver Skipp from Tottenham Hotspur. The Athletic reported that Leicester agreed on a deal exceeding £20 million, with Skipp set to undergo a medical on-site. He has signed a five-year contract and will be present for Leicester's match against Spurs on Monday.
Skipp's Excitement and Past Achievements
Expressing his enthusiasm, Skipp stated, "I’m really excited to sign for Leicester. It’s a club with big history, having won the Premier League in recent times. You just have to look at the facilities here; it’s got the setup of a big club. I look forward to meeting the players and staff, and I’m sure we’ll build a good relationship in years to come." Last season, Skipp made 24 appearances for Spurs, primarily as a substitute, but has a strong history with the team, including having broken into the first team in 2018 with 106 appearances.
Impact of Transfer on Both Clubs
- Tottenham strengthens midfield with a new signing from Leeds.
