Both Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon were in action for England U-21 in a friendly against the Netherlands on Tuesday. While Skipp started the game and played all 90 minutes, Sessegnon came on has a second-half substitute.
Despite the Young Lions eventually falling to a 2-1 defeat on the night, Skipp’s display left a lot of people extremely impressed.
The individual highlights of the Spurs midfielder’s performance on Tuesday has been doing the rounds on social media and it is evident that the 19-year-old was the best player on the pitch.
Skipp was left out of Jose Mourinho’s first squad for the trip to West Ham yesterday afternoon after becoming somewhat of a regular as a replacement under Mauricio Pochetinno.

Mourinho did mention that he was impressed not just with the profile of the first-team squad but also the academy. So one hopes he has taken a close look at the various youngsters coming through. Hopefully, Skipp gets his opportunities to stake his claim in the side in the coming year or two.
