Tottenham Hotspur loanee Oliver Skipp has made an exciting claim while discussing his form this season on the Along Come Norwich podcast.

Signing Skipp for the season appeared to be a real coup for Norwich City in the summer. He made 11 appearances for Spurs last season, including two in the Champions League.

He has already played the same number of games for Daniel Farke’s men. In fact, he has started all of the Canaries’ Championship fixtures so far this term.

He goes into Saturday’s clash with Middlesbrough off the back of an impressive international break. The youngster was lauded by some supporters following England’s under-21 win over Albania this week. The game saw Skipp produce a stunning assist.

Nevertheless, the 20-year-old insisted that he felt that his Norwich form has not been quite as good as he would have liked.

“I think there’s definitely more to come from me,” he told Along Come Norwich. “I feel like these first 11 games I can definitely improve upon. I feel like perhaps when there’s space I can really drive into those spaces.

“I think the last game against Swansea, it’s easier to do it against teams that come out as well, where there is space and you can carry the ball. I feel like I haven’t shown that as much as I can do maybe, more forward driving runs.”

It is good to see Skipp set himself a high standard. He will be under no illusions regarding the size of the challenge in front of him as he looks to catch Jose Mourinho’s eye.

But 23 appearances in two seasons amongst the Spurs first-team highlights that Skipp has enormous potential. And he sounds determined to make the most of his time away from North London.
