Selling Oliver Skipp to Leicester could see Tottenham accelerate deal to sign £27m player
Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a productive summer transfer window so far and their business isn’t done just yet.
Daniel Levy has been working on a number of outgoings over the last couple of weeks and now Oliver Skipp is set to depart.
Skipp is on the verge of completing a move to Leicester City with medical tests already booked for Monday.
The 23-year-old will join The Foxes on a permanent deal for a fee in excess of £20m.
Anyhow, with that said, his sale could now facilitate a move to sign a rumoured Tottenham target.

Tottenham could now accelerate move to sign Vanderson
Once the Skipp sale goes through, Tottenham could accelerate a deal to sign AS Monaco right-back Vanderson, who has been labelled as ‘exceptional’ per .
TBR reported on Saturday that Tottenham are in talks with Vanderson and he’s thought to be valued at around £27m.
So, Skipp’s forthcoming departure will now boost the transfer kitty and indeed free up space in Ange Postecoglou’s squad for the arrival of the 23-year-old.
It wouldn’t at all be surprising to see the Vanderson deal advance in the coming days.
Daniel Levy has done really well with Oliver Skipp sale
Levy really has pulled off a great bit of business with the Skipp sale as many felt he’d depart for much less than the quoted £20m-plus fee.
In fact, there were some reports earlier in the window which valued him at around £10m, so to get more than double that is fantastic negotiating.
Levy’s also been really efficient in bringing players in, with Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert both signing promptly.
