Report: There is belief at Spurs that one player could be future club captain

Football.London have revealed there is a belief at Tottenham Hotspur that Oliver Skipp could one day become the captain of the club.

Skipp has been one of Tottenham’s best players so far this season, with the youngster being one of the very few stars in the squad to thrive under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The 21-year-old has also established himself as a near mainstay in Antonio Conte’s starting lineup.

Spurs certainly missed the youngster’s tenacity and defensive awareness in their 3-2 defeat to Southampton on Wednesday, with the home side getting overrun in the middle of the park at various points in the game.

Conte has admitted that he sees Skipp as an “important player” and he is pushing the medical staff to have the midfielder back in action as soon as possible (Daily Mail).

If Football.London are to be believed, it looks like the youngster’s leadership qualities are highly thought of at the club, despite his age. It is asserted that some at Spurs expect Skipp to be handed the captain’s armband in the future.

For a player of his age, Skipp certainly seems to have a mature head on his shoulders.

Apart from his qualities as a player, the 21-year-old possesses an excellent attitude and seems to be quite intent on continuing to improve.

So, it is not surprising to me that Conte has taken a real liking towards the Tottenham academy graduate.
