Leicester City Eyes Oliver Skipp Transfer

Leicester City is nearing the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp as they seek to strengthen their squad for the new Premier League season. After selling Kieran Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea for £30 million, Leicester has prioritized adding a central midfielder, with Skipp emerging as their main target. Reports suggest that Leicester is in advanced talks with Tottenham, with a potential deal being discussed at around £20 million plus add-ons. Skipp, who has struggled for playing time at Spurs, is expected to undergo a medical soon, although he will miss the opening match against Leicester due to registration deadlines. Competition for Skipp's signature includes Leeds United; however, Leicester appears to be leading the race. This signing would mark Leicester's sixth addition of the summer as they prepare for their return to the Premier League.
