Tottenham have accepted a bid from newly promoted Leicester City for midfielder Oliver Skipp.

The fee for the 23-year-old, who came through the Spurs academy, is in excess of £20 million.

Skipp is expected to undergo a medical on Monday, ahead of the two clubs’ opening Premier League match.

The England Under-21 international made his Tottenham first-team debut in October 2018 and has since made 77 Premier League appearances, including 21 last season.

Skipp will link up with former Spurs teammate Harry Winks and will become the Foxes’ fifth summer signing after their return to the top flight.
