Tottenham Hotspur are set to hand midfielder Oliver Skipp an improved contract deal, according to The Scottish Sun.
The Lowdown: Developing well
The 21-year-old has been a near ever-present figure in Nuno Espirito Santo's side this season after breaking into the squad off the back of a successful loan spell in the Championship with Norwich City.
After making his senior debut in a 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over West Ham United in October 2018, Skipp has made 29 appearances for the club and has started four of Spurs' opening five league games.
Despite only signing a four-year contract extension last summer, the £25,000-per-week midfielder could be set to land another new deal.
The Latest: New deal on the table
According to The Scottish Sun, Tottenham want to reward Skipp for emerging as a first team regular by increasing his wages to between £35,000 and £40,000 per week.
Norwich's move for a permanent deal never happened due to Spurs' high regard for the midfielder and the club were willing to listen to offers for Harry Winks due to the 21-year-old's emergence.
The report claimed that the deal would run until 2025, when Skipp will be 25 years of age.
The Verdict: Skipp on the rise for Spurs
Skipp didn't start in Sunday's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea and the midfield battle was easily won by Thomas Tuchel's side without his presence.
Labelled 'perfect' by Norwich manager Daniel Farke last season, Skipp's early season performances have had many Spurs fans praising the academy graduate. He has completed 35.8 (89%) of his passes per game and had formed a good partnership with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the club's opening few games.
With Skipp being a constant figure in the England under-21 squad, his aspirations will be to make the step up to Gareth Southgate's squad, and he will need to be playing weekly in the Premier League to attract the interest of the England boss.
A new contract and renewed trust handed to him by Spurs should go some way towards helping him in that aim.
