‘This week’ - Reliable reporter shares major development as Tottenham talks emerge

Taking to Twitter, reliable reporter Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard has shared a major Tottenham Hotspur development involving midfielder Oliver Skipp.

In recent days, there have been emerged reports of Tottenham’s advanced talks to seal a new deal for the exciting 21-year-old.

Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas claimed earlier this week that the Lilywhites’ negotiations over fresh terms for Skipp were moving forward promisingly.

Indeed, according to the reporter’s information, the midfielder is ‘close to agreeing a new long-term contract’ with discussions ongoing and a ‘confidence on all sides’ that it will get done (Twitter).

Now, sharing a midweek development, Kilpatrick has a major update for Spurs supporters.

Taking to Twitter in sharing a corresponding article from the Evening Standard, Kilpatrick said that Skipp is now ‘set to sign’ his new deal ‘this week’ in a huge boost for the club.

Moving to tie down the young Englishman comes as great news for Spurs and Conte, going by Skipp’s brilliant performances when available.

There are plenty of signs that the 21-year-old may well be a star for the future and a crucial player over the coming seasons, with his first full campaign as a senior first-teamer proving fruitful.

As highlighted by WhoScored, the ex-Norwich loanee has displayed a real composure in Tottenham’s midfield throughout 2021/22, averaging a higher pass accuracy than all of his team-mates with more than one Premier League start (90.1%).

These numbers could point to an assured figure and a real presence in the middle of the park who looks set to only get better.
