Alasdair Gold said the academy graduate wants to stay and compete for his place, not move out on loan this month. Since Tottenham doesn’t have many choices in the midfield, that fits with their current intentions. Gold notes that this could alter later on, though, based on their midfield lineup.
Through Football London, he reported:
“Though that could alter in the summer depending on the sheer quantity of players in the midfield, Oliver Skipp is said to be eager to fight for his spot rather than heading anywhere this month, which fits nicely with Tottenham’s ambitions. Also, Skipp hasn’t been utilised much in his more comfortable position as number six.
It’s possible that Skipp will think about going on loan if Tottenham signs a midfield player during this transfer window.
