Oliver Skipp is set to sign a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur this week
According to Evening Standard, Oliver Skipp is set to sign a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur this week, following his excellent performances at N17 this term. The academy graduate has turned into a regular in the first team this season, and he has specially raised his game under Antonio Conte.
Skipp has been plying his trade with Tottenham since he was five years of age, and he has risen through the academy over the years. He also enjoyed a good spell on loan at Norwich City last term and has now built on his promise from the last campaign. It seems that the club have acknowledged his qualities, and they have provided a new deal to showcase their appreciation.
The Englishman is currently contracted at Spurs until 2024 and has been offered a new proposal with better terms. The midfielder certainly warranted the deal, looking at his performances before he suffered the pelvic problem. He has struggled to recover from the issue but is expected to return by the end of this week.
Deserved!
Daily Mail Online has provided more details on the contract that the 21-year-old is set to sign this week. They claim that the new deal will secure his future long term, which will see him earn around £35,000-per-week in salaries.
No one can dispute by saying that the Spurs ace does not deserve a raise, considering how he has performed this campaign. Not to mention, the weekly wages seem very modest as well in this modern football world where salary bills at different clubs have soared across all areas.
We would be more than happy to see the Premier League youngster tieing down his long term future with the North Londoners. A contract extension would be a great piece of news for us, which will be heightened even further when the central midfielder achieves full fitness around the time when the deal would be signed.

This new contract would undoubtedly give a morale boost to the English star. After all, an improved deal would indicate how highly the club values their academy star. Now we need him to return to get back into contention as soon as possible as we near a crucial part of this season.
Skipp’s recovery would certainly give Conte a boost, considering how the midfielder was a key player for the manager before the injury. Not to mention, it would also strengthen our depth in the midfield, which has been thinned following the setback. Let’s wait and see when we will get a confirmation on the extension in the coming week.
