‘Joy’, ‘Great news’ - Media now in awe of 'brilliant' development at Tottenham

Numerous members of the media have shared their jubilation after Tottenham Hotspur officially announced a new contract for Oliver Skipp. 

The 21-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season and has been sorely missed whilst sidelined with an ongoing groin issue.
