How much Leicester are actually paying Tottenham for Oliver Skipp as surprise signing close to completion
Tottenham and Leicester are close to doing business for another midfielder as Oliver Skipp is set for a move.
ꩵAfter already signing Harry Winks from Tottenham last year, the Foxes are now close to landing Skipp as well.
Reports this morning have said a deal for Skipp⭕ is close to being completed, while and a medical is set to happen today.
💎There was, however, no mention of the fee Tottenham were going to receive.
ꩵBut according to TalkSPORT, that information is now becoming clear and they’ve revealed just how much Spurs are getting for Skipp.
Leicester to pay Tottenham £20m to sign Oliver Skipp
𓆏According to , the fee for Skipp will indeed be around the £20m mark.
♓For Tottenham, that counts as pure profit when it comes the PSR side of the game and means they can now bank some money directly against the big signings they’ve made.
🦩The likes of Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, and Wilson Odobert have set Spurs back way over £100m this summer.
ꦐIndeed, just like they did with Odobert, the deal for Skipp seems to have come out of the blue. Quite whether they will announce it with the same speed they did Odobert, remains to be seen.
Skipp needed to leave Spurs
🅺Ange Postecoglou spoke before the summer about changes to the squad and that was always going to mean players leaving as well.
For Oliver Skipp🎉, this is a smart move where it gives him the chance to play in a side who’ll fancy themselves to stay up.
🙈A reunion with Harry Winks will also be a positive for Skipp in terms of helping him settle.
𝓰For Tottenham, the arrival of Lucas Bergvall looks to have pushed Skipp further down the pecking order.
Indeed, Bergvall has impressed in pre-season and there’s a feeling he’ll be involved. Likewise, Spurs coaches are also gushing over Archie Gray, who can also play centre-midfield.
🦂Skipp, then, simply had to get a move and he’s got one.
