Newcastle keen on Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp
Newcastle United are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp, as per Daily Mail.
The 20-year-old is unlikely to get regular game time at the London club, and a loan move would be ideal for him next season.
The Magpies need to add more imagination and craft in the middle of the park, and Skipp could be a superb short term addition.
Newcastle loaned Joe Willock from Arsenal last season, and the youngster made a big impression under Steve Bruce.
The Magpies will be hoping for a similar impact from Skipp if they sign him.
Newcastle are reportedly keen on signing Willock permanently, but a loan deal for Skipp may be viewed as a more cost-effective option.
