Some Tottenham Hotspur fans want Oliver Skipp recalled in January after Europa League loss

Tottenham Hotspur’s poor display in the Europa League against Royal Antwerp last night certainly ruffled some feathers among the fanbase. 

Even Jose Mourinho went very public with his displeasure at the display, with several players not taking their chance after being brought back into the Tottenham starting eleven. 

One such player was Harry Winks, who struggled yet again to impose himself on the game in what has been a tough start to the season for the England international. 

For some Tottenham fans, it was the last straw and many have a ready-made replacement in mind for January.

That is Oliver Skipp, currently out on loan at Norwich City from the Spurs. 

The midfielder is a popular choice of Jose Mourinho’s, who has previously suggested Skipp as a future Tottenham captain. 

Some Spurs fans are also now of the opinion that perhaps Winks would do better to move on from the club in January, either temporarily or permanently, with Skipp coming back to perform the back-up role to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. 

Skipp has certainly demonstrated some fine form at Carrow Road, which would suggest he is capable of doing a job at Spurs.

However, it would certainly be a knee jerk reaction from the club and Skipp would surely be better off playing an entire season of regular football in the Championship. 

Some fans, however, clearly disagree.
