Despite the major setback of his injury, Oliver Skipp had some good news on Wednesday as Tottenham announced his new contract. The new deal will keep the 21-year-old at the club for another five years, which is pleasing for all Spurs fans to hear, with his potential already seen since his return from his loan spell at Norwich.
This season and before his pelvic injury Skipp had made 28 appearances and was improving game by game, often playing alongside Pierre Emile Hojbjerg. The midfielder only had a few months to work with Antonio Conte before his injury, which he is still working to recover from.
"I don't know if you remember the third or fourth game of the season, with England, I came back and I think it was the Crystal Palace game so it dates quite far back in terms of I've been having a problem, but I've been managing to get through it. Come the international break I had an injection which other players have had in the past and the hope was that the original pain would go and that's not been the case," the Englishman admitted in his interview with Spurs, after signing the new contract.
