Leeds United tried to get a deal done for Oliver Skipp as part of Archie Gray's transfer to Tottenham Hotspur
Leeds United tried to get a deal done that would have seen Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp arrive at Elland Road alongside Joe Rodon, as part of the transfer that saw Archie Gray head to London. Ultimately, transfer negotiations were completed without the Skipp transfer being included in the deal, but could it still happen?
Our colleagues at football.london say it was unlikely Skipp was ever going to be included in the deal which saw Rodon and Gray swapped, plus £30m in money heading to Elland Road, however that's not to say talks cannot be reopened on a specific deal, or perhaps even a loan move for next season. Leeds boss Daniel Farke is a big admirer of Skipp, having worked with the player in Norwich City's promotion-winning season. Farke would love to repeat that feat with Skipp, who is now much more experienced and would arrive at Leeds a much better player than the one Farke previously worked with.
