A new report has made the claim that Oliver Skipp could join the four-captain group at Tottenham Hotspur ahead of next season.
The £49,000-a-week (Salary Sport) man, who joined Spurs at just five years of age has established his presence as his boyhood club’s go-to defensive midfielder.
As Oliver Skipp becomes a more integral member of this Tottenham Hotspur side, he could now become a part of the four-captain group.
Oliver Skipp primed for the four-captain group at Tottenham
Currently, the three skippers at the club are Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane, and Eric Dier.
Branded as ‘brilliant’ by talkSPORT, the midfield anchor never seemed to look any closer to such a role as it was only two seasons ago when he went on loan to Norwich City.
As per a report by the Daily Mail, it is looking increasingly likely that Oliver Skipp, alongside Eric Dier, Harry Kane, and Hugo Lloris becomes a captain at the club.
In fact, it has been revealed that Spurs executives have held meetings with senior players in recent weeks.
Surprisingly, Skipp, who is only just 22 years old was one of the players reached out to in these conversations.
HITC View: A story that needs applauding
With how visceral football fans tend to get from time to time, the fact that Tottenham already views Oliver Skipp as a captain is likely to be ridiculed by opposition fans.
The general consensus would be that while the Englishman is a talent, he is yet to achieve anything significant in the game to be given such a responsibility.
Leaving that aside, it is extremely inspirational that Skipp, who is Tottenham through and through has been considered as a viable option for such a massive role at the club.
Considering millions of boys and girls aim to play professionally at the very least, for Oliver Skipp to be considered as a potential captain for his boyhood club is the stuff of dreams.
Regardless of how his career pans out, the highly-rated midfielder must get his props.

Tottenham Hotspur In Bigger Trouble Than People Admit – Former Top Flight Star
Former Premier League defender Steve Brown has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur is in more trouble than people think and are drifting as a club at the moment.
Spurs have endured predicaments on and off the pitch this season amid unimpressive results and managerial upheaval at the club.
Tottenham’s hopes of playing European football next season have been jolted severely after they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa.
The London side’s caretaker manager Ryan Mason is tipped to be replaced with a permanent manager in the summer, and Spurs are strongly linked with Arne Slot and Brendan Rodgers as managerial candidates amid speculation over the future of talisman Harry Kane.
Brown insisted that the summer is likely to be momentous for Spurs in terms of the appointment of a permanent manager and recruitment of players and feels the club is in bigger trouble than people admit.
“In bigger trouble than people admit”, Brown told BBC Radio London’s The Far Post Podcast when asked about Tottenham’s struggles.
“They are drifting.
“Who stands out from their squad, other than Harry Kane? And he might leave.
“It’s a real defining moment this summer in terms of who is appointed as manager and where they go recruitment-wise.“
Sitting seventh in the Premier League table, Spurs are now vying with their recent conquerors Aston Villa, and Brighton, to scrape a place in European competition next season.
