Oliver Skipp, the 22-year-old central midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, displays remarkable ball retention abilities, demonstrating a composure on the ball that is notably higher than many players in the Premier League. His one vs one defending is exceptionally good, which likely comes from his alternate role as a defensive midfielder. However, there is a significant drop when it comes to his penalty area defending skills, which suggests he may struggle to adapt in situations closer to the goal. His progressive passing is decent, which hints at his capability to launch attacks, but his abilities in the progressive carrying of the ball are relatively lower, suggesting that he may rely more on his pass work than runs with the ball. In line with this, he maintains a strong goal threat and goal efficiency, but his chance creation statistics are modest. Despite having an average number of touches, Skipp demonstrates a rarity of being direct in attack, as he has a lower than average touch percentile but impressive expected goal (xG) and goal threat percentiles. This direct approach is not mirrored in his assist rates or expected assist (xA) percentiles, which are rather low, and his shot frequency is also notably deficient. Skipp is less successful in duels, with particularly poor aerial duels stats. Despite that, he boasts a fine duel win rate. These contrasted stats suggest that his effectiveness in duels might be mostly on the ground. He is fairly young and already showing strong performances, indicative of potential future growth
