Jose Mourinho tips who will be the future Tottenham captain

Jose Mourinho has claimed Oliver Skipp is the future of Tottenham and in future he can become a captain. Earlier this week the 19-year-old signed a new four-year contract to stay at the North London until 2024, committing his long-term future to the club despite failing to register regular minutes in the first team this season. However, according to Mourinho Skipp has a big role to play in the future. In his latest press conference the Portuguese manager said: "I'm really happy. Everybody in the club is, his team-mates are, I am and Skippy is or not he wouldn't sign the contract. "I think he's genuinely Tottenham's future. He's one of these players by human quality, by personality, he is one of these kids that I have no doubt he will be an important player for Tottenham. "Sometimes coaches are selfish and I told him that. I never told him I want him to go on loan, I always told him I wanted him to stay here, because that's the selfish perspective of a coach who wants the best possible squad. "In his mind he wants to go on loan, six months, the whole season. He feels that he needs that, I also feel that would be good for his evolution, so maybe that is the direction we go. "I think he can be more than a player, he can be a future captain here. Hugo, Harry. I see this kid being one day a future captain here by his character, by his personality. I feel really happy that he signed." Source- 90Min
