He has not made a huge number of appearances in that time, but his presence in the side for that long shows that the managers he has played under have trust in him.<\/p>\n<p>That trust is something that he feels from Jose Mourinho and it was part of the reason he was delighted to sign a new deal.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the club website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tottenhamhotspur.com\/news\/2020\/july\/skippy-on-new-contract-praise-from-jose-and-hitting-the-gym\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve been at the club since I was very young and it\u2019s nice to extend my contract here. I think it shows that the club and the manager has faith in me and it\u2019s something that hopefully I can now push on from and see what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Excited to Learn Under Mourinho<\/h3>\n<p>Young players will relish playing under a manager like Mourinho, who has achieved so much in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Skipp is no different, and he is keen to continue his development under the Portuguese coach.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cYou see what he\u2019s done in the game \u2013 Champions League wins, Premier League wins \u2013 so as a young player it\u2019s only something you can learn off and develop your understanding of the game due to his tactical knowledge. Working under Jose can only be good for me, just to develop all sides of my game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"1Echqf8oQUFVxRPHdXnK4A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1256650842\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1Echqf8oQUFVxRPHdXnK4A',sig:'n2d1kH6K2gIgmV26TAZpfCEvFMV5OhAldxCR_HtvzfI=',w:'594px',h:'401px',items:'1256650842',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur youngster Oliver Skipp has signed a new four-year deal with the club.
