Will there be any mixed emotions from this man watching on this evening?

Midfielder Oliver Skipp joined Leicester from Tottenham earlier today on a five-year deal for a fee in excess of £20m.

The 23-year-old, who came through Spurs’ academy, made 77 Premier League appearances for the Lilywhites including 21 last season.

“I’m really excited to sign for Leicester,” Skipp said.

“Now is the time to move on to start something new, fresh and exciting and I’m looking forward to doing that at Leicester. It will be a strange one (the game against Spurs), but it will be nice to see some familiar faces. But also now, I’m a Leicester City player, so my focus will be on them.”

Skipp, was rarely a first choice at Spurs and admitted that he is eager to show his worth on a more regular basis for the Midlands club.

“I’m looking to push on and show everyone what I can do,” he added.

“It’s a club with big history, having won the Premier League and FA Cup in recent times. You just have to look at the facilities here as well; it’s all got the set-up of a big club.”
