Leicester City have confirmed the arrival of midfielder Oliver Skipp from Tottenham Hotspur. The Athletic reported on Sunday that Leicester had agreed a deal worth in excess of £20million for Skipp, with the Englishman to undergo a medical that day.
Skipp has signed a five-year deal at Leicester and will be in attendance tonight when they face Spurs in the final game of the opening round of Premier League fixtures. His Spurs contract previously had three years left to run.
“I’m really excited to sign for Leicester,” Skipp said. “It’s a club with big history, having won the Premier League and FA Cup in recent times. You just have to look at the facilities here as well; it’s all got the set-up of a big club.
“I’m really excited to meet the players, meet the staff and I’m sure we’ll have a good relationship, and one that we can continue throughout the years to come.”
