Oliver Skipp 'set for new £40k-a-week Tottenham Hotspur deal'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly come close to offering midfielder Oliver Skipp a new contract, with improved terms for the 21-year-old.

Since his return from a loan spell at promotion-winning Norwich City last season, Skipp has started in all four of the Lilywhites' Premier League games so far, as they have amassed nine points.

The England Under-21 international signed a four-year extension at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last summer, before he went on to feature in 45 Championship games as Norwich earned an immediate promotion back to the top flight.

According to The Sun, Nuno Espirito Santo is set to reward the midfielder with another improved deal, seeing his wages increase to around £40k per week until 2025.

Such an advancement follows the Canaries' efforts to bring Skipp back to Carrow Road following their promotion, but Santo was keen to have the prospect involved in his first-team squad.
