Tottenham faith in young duo behind transfer decision after £25m Oliver Skipp windfall

Oliver Skipp is expected to complete a move to Leicester from Tottenham before the clubs meet at the King Power Stadium tonight.

Skipp has passed a medical and will join the Foxes in a deal worth £20million plus a potential £5m in add-ons, though he will not sign in time to feature in the game against Spurs .

The Spurs academy graduate has made over 100 appearances for his boyhood club but was largely used as a substitute by head coach Ange Postecoglou last season.

His absence further reduces the homegrown options in Postecoglou's squad but a new No6 is not thought to be a priority before the end of the month, in part due to the encouraging performances of summer signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall , both 18, in pre-season.

Gray is jostling for a competitive debut against the Foxes, with Yves Bissouma serving a one-match club ban after filming himself inhaling laughing gas.

Wilson Odobert, who joined Spurs in a deal worth up to £25m from Burnley on Friday, will not be involved against Leicester , with the French teenager still waiting for a work permit as of Monday morning.
