Leeds United are set to sign Joe Rodon from Tottenham.

According to Phil Hay, a deal to bring the centre-back to Leeds on loan is close, and he’s not the only Spurs player that Leeds have had a look at.

Indeed, according to The Express, Leeds have also considered signing Oliver Skipp.

The Spurs midfielder knows Daniel Farke very well from his loan spell at Norwich, and the German is keen to reunite with the Spurs midfielder.

Described as ‘unbelievable’ by Harry Kane, Skipp is a fantastic player.

Unfortunately, we just can’t see this one going ahead.

It would be brilliant to see Oliver Skipp back working under Daniel Farke in this Leeds team, but there’s not a chance that this one happens.

Skipp is heavily involved at Spurs, he even scored against Barcelona this week in a friendly.

Even if Skipp were to leave Tottenham, he would have no trouble finding another Premier League club, so a drop down to the Championship probably isn’t on his mind – even if he would love the idea of working with Farke again.

Skipp would be utterly brilliant in the Championship, but, in reality, he’s way above that level nowadays.

He’s likely to play an important role for Tottenham this season, and, thus, a move to Elland Road isn’t on the cards.

A potential midfield pivot of Ethan Ampadu and Skipp is mouthwatering at that level, but it’s really tough to see this move actually going ahead.

With that being said though, Harry Winks has just joined Leicester City from Tottenham a few years after starting a Champions League final for Spurs, so we can’t rule this one out entirely.

Leeds may well be in the market for a new midfielder this summer, but it’s hard to imagine that Skipp will be the man they ultimately land.
