“It is always impossible to sign him; until is done” Leeds United now set to complete signing of of World-class star who Jose Mourinho said will be the ‘future captain’ of the club

Leeds United are keen to sign Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp this summer, according to reports. The Whites are looking to strengthen their team for another Championship promotion push, and Skipp’s reunion with Daniel Farke and Joe Rodon could be a key factor in the deal.

Skipp, 23, is looking for consistent game time, and a move to the Championship could provide him with the opportunity to develop his skills. Farke, who managed Skipp at Norwich, knows the midfielder’s potential and believes he can be a key player for Leeds.

“He’s one of these players, by human quality, by personality, he is one of these kids that I have no doubt he will be an important player for Tottenham. I think he can be more than a player; he can be a future captain here. Hugo [Lloris], Harry [Kane]. I see this kid being one day a future captain here by his character, by his personality. I feel really happy that he signed,” former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said of Skipp.

Farke echoed Mourinho’s praise, saying: “With his character and how he behaves within the group, it underlines why Jose said he could be a future Tottenham captain. He has this pedigree.”

Skipp played 24 times in the league last season, but only five of them were starts. With the arrival of Archie Gray from Leeds, Skipp may fall further down the pecking order at Tottenham, making a move to Leeds more appealing.

Leeds United missed Premier League promotion by a narrow margin last season, and they are determined to challenge for automatic promotion next season. Signing Skipp would be a significant coup for the Whites, and would reunite him with Farke and Rodon.

The deal would also be a testament to the good relationship between Leeds and Tottenham, which has been evident in their recent transfer dealings. Leeds signed Gray from Spurs earlier this summer, and the two clubs may be set to do business again.

Skipp’s potential move to Leeds would be a significant development in the Championship, and would add to the growing excitement around the league. With Leeds and other teams strengthening their squads, the Championship is shaping up to be a highly competitive league next season.

In other news, Manchester United are targeting an “exciting” Crystal Palace winger, while Tottenham’s record signing has agreed to a stunning move. The transfer window is heating up, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next big move.

As the summer transfer window continues to unfold, one thing is certain – the Championship will be a league to watch next season. With teams like Leeds United strengthening their squads, the competition is set to be fierce. And with players like Oliver Skipp potentially on the move, the Championship could be in for a thrilling season.
