The Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp is undergoing a medical at Leicester City on Sunday for a move worth more than £20m.

If the transfer is completed in the next 24 hours, as expected, then Skipp will be leaving Spurs after 16 years. The 23-year-old joined their academy aged six but has been used sparingly in the first team with his game time limited. Skipp, who spent a season on loan in the Championship at Norwich in 2020-21, has made 40 league starts for Spurs and 37 substitute appearances.
