Oliver Skipp Signs with Leicester City Until 2029

Leicester City has confirmed the signing of 23-year-old midfielder Oliver Skipp from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee exceeding £20 million, with potential add-ons. Skipp, who signed a contract until 2029, expressed excitement about joining Leicester and praised the quality of the squad. This transfer marks Leicester's sixth signing in their effort to strengthen the team following their promotion to the Premier League. Skipp, who has represented England at various youth levels, reunites with manager Steve Cooper and former teammate Harry Winks at Leicester. Although Skipp featured in 21 Premier League games last season for Tottenham, he was not a regular starter and sought more consistent playing time. His departure allows Tottenham to pursue the signing of AS Monaco right-back Vanderson, valued at around £27 million.
