“Leicester City Eye Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp Amid Midfield Reinforcements”
Leicester City fans were likely worried when rumors emerged about Wilfred Ndidi potentially leaving the club this summer, fearing a repeat of the Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall situation. The departure of the Nigerian central midfielder would have left significant gaps in Leicester’s midfield. Thus, there was widespread relief when these rumors were quashed and Ndidi signed a new contract with the club.
However, Steve Cooper and his team are still seeking additional midfield recruits, with one potential target showing similarities to Ndidi’s playing style.
Leicester is planning a move for Tottenham Hotspur’s Oliver Skipp, according to Football Insider. Skipp, previously targeted by Leeds United, reportedly prefers not to drop to the Championship, making Leicester a strong contender for his signature.
Acquiring Skipp would greatly enhance Leicester’s midfield, adding to the depth already bolstered by Michael Golding. This move aims to ensure Leicester’s stable position in the Premier League.
Additionally, signing the 23-year-old could serve as a long-term strategy, preparing for the possibility of Ndidi’s future departure. Skipp’s determination could help Leicester solidify their status as a top-flight team, alongside their pursuit of attacking talents like Matias Soule.
