Leicester City have agreed a deal to sign Oliver Skipp from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent transfer.
The 23-year-old midfielder is set to undergo a medical today (Sunday) ahead of the proposed transfer.
Skipp made 24 appearances in all competitions for Spurs last season but was predominantly used as a substitute by Ange Postecoglou.
The Tottenham academy graduate’s contract at Spurs runs until 2027.
He broke into the first team in 2018 and has made 106 appearances for the club.
Skipp spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Norwich City and played 47 times for the Championship side.
Spurs have strengthened in midfield this summer with the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds, while Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg has departed for Marseille.
Leicester, meanwhile, lost midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea this summer ahead of their return to the Premier League.
A move to Leicester would see Skipp join up with fellow Spurs academy graduate Harry Winks in Steve Cooper’s midfield.
Tottenham and Leicester meet on Monday in the pair’s opening game of the Premier League season.
