Former Tottenham captain Graham Roberts is unsure whether Oliver Skipp is ready to make the step up to the Premier League.

The 20-year-old flourished during a highly successful loan spell with Norwich City last season – making 45 appearances to help Daniel Farke's men win the Championship, and make an immediate return to the topflight.

A metatarsal fracture saw Skipp miss Norwich's final-game against Reading and then forced him to undergo surgery to fix the damage.

However, the midfielder made a swift return to fitness and resumed pre-season training back with Tottenham recently, as he looks to impress manager Nuno Espirito Santo ahead of the new campaign.

Skipp has experience of the Premier League previously, although only a handful of those outings were from the start.

And with such little game-time in England's top-flight, Roberts has questioned whether the young midfielder is ready to compete on a regular basis in Santo's first-team despite big things expected of the England U21 man.

He exclusively told Football FanCast:

"Playing in the Championship and the Premier League are totally different. In the Premier League there are some quality midfield players, the Championship is a good league, and he did very well, but I think he could be like Harry Winks.

"It might just go over his head, but we don't know until you give him a chance."
