Leicester City is nearing the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp as they seek to strengthen their squad for the new Premier League season. After selling Kieran Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea for £30 million, Leicester has prioritized adding a central midfielder, with Skipp emerging as their main target. Reports suggest that Leicester is in advanced talks with Tottenham, with a potential deal being discussed at around £20 million plus add-ons. Skipp, who has struggled for playing time at Spurs, is expected to undergo a medical soon, although he will miss the opening match against Leicester due to registration deadlines. Competition for Skipp's signature includes Leeds United; however, Leicester appears to be leading the race. This signing would mark Leicester's sixth addition of the summer as they prepare for their return to the Premier League.
