Ipswich Town are reportedly in a ‘three-way fight’ to secure the services of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp.

The 23-year-old is, according to The Telegraph, attracting interest from the Blues and the Premier League’s two other newly-promoted sides, Leicester City and Southampton.

Skipp, who won the Sky Bet Championship title with Town’s East Anglian rivals Norwich City in the 2020/21 campaign, made 21 Premier League appearances for Spurs last term under Ange Postecoglou, starting five matches, but is likely to leave the Tottnham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

Since joining the north London outfit at eight years old, Skipp has gone onto make more than 100 appearances for the Lilywhites following his first-team debut against West Ham in the Carabao Cup in 2018.

The Welwyn Garden City-born player has also made 24 appearances for England’s Under-21s side and was in Spurs’ academy when Town boss Kieran McKenna was playing and coaching at the club.

Skipp has three years left on his contract after he signed a five-year deal in 2022.
