Antonio Conte offered up praise and encouragement for Tottenham Hotspur academy midfielder Harvey White to football.london while discussing Oliver Skipp's new deal.
Skipp has signed a new five-year contract as the club looked to tie the 21-year-old academy product down for the long-term after a real breakthrough season of regular football until a pelvic injury halted his campaign. Conte has high hopes for the England Under-21 international and when football.london asked just how important the midfielder could be for Tottenham's future, he also offered up other young players as examples of what the academy has been doing well including extra praise for White.
"I'm very happy for Skippy because we're talking about a good player, a young player, a player from the academy and you know very well the importance of this club of developing players from the academy," said Conte. "In this squad we have [Japhet] Tanganga, [Dane] Scarlett, Harvey [White] is also improving a lot.
