REPORT: ANGE POSTECOGLOU SAYS THAT WONDERKID WILL BE SOLD THIS SUMMER.
Oliver Skipp could be sold in the summer by Tottenham Hotspur, along with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso, according to journalist Gary Jacob.
Everything is changing under Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham. In just two transfer windows, the Australian has brought in a number of top quality players to revitalise his squad, and we have seen many fringe players leave the club, too.
One area that still needs work is in the centre of midfield, a position cited as Tottenham’s next big priority when it comes to finding upgrades (The Independent).
Spurs have long held an interest in Conor Gallagher, but it seems more likely that the Chelsea man would move in the summer now as opposed to a switch in the current transfer window (Football Insider).
Regardless of if and when that move happens, it would appear a number of Tottenham players are facing an uncertain future at the club, with both Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg having their game time limited this season.
Is Oliver Skipp on his way out of Spurs?
With this in mind, Gary Jacobs has revealed what he believes the Spurs midfield will look like in a few months from now, and there doesn’t seem to be a place for Skipp or Hojbjerg.

Jacobs told The Times: “Tottenham’s midfield is changing. By the summer Skipp, Højbjerg and possibly Lo Celso will be gone. Then it’s Bentancur and Bissouma, Sarr and Maddison. The latter two are the attacking one. So they would be short and maybe need a player who can press and break a line.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It would be a shame to see Skipp go, but the fact he is an academy product should not prevent the club from having the best possible players at their disposal. He has shown moments of real promise, but sadly, Skipp just isn’t dynamic enough for the style of football we want to play.

How much each player currently earns per week at Tottenham Hotspur
The money footballers earn on a weekly basis—whether deserved or not—is truly mind-blowing. Take the Tottenham Hotspur squad for example, who apparently earn around £115m per year between them.
As one of the biggest clubs in the biggest league in the world, that shouldn’t really be surprising. And, with one of the best stadiums in the world driving commercial success for Tottenham, it’s safe to say the club can afford it.

However, Heung-min Son is not actually the top earner at the club. That unfortunate honour goes to Tanguy Ndombele, who is currently on loan at Fenerbahce.

Tanguy Ndombele – £10.4m a year or £200,000 a week

Joe Rodon – £500,000 a year or £9,615 per week
Spurs Web Opinion
Just think, if we only sell Hojbjerg and Dier in January, that frees up enough wages to pay another Sonny. And that’s not to mention the money we are spending on Ivan Perisic each week. Once we get to the summer, that wage bill needs trimming, that’s for sure.
