The news that Tottenham's Sunggol Youth Skip will leave the team has been announced since the 18th. The British Daily Mail said: "'Leicester is accelerating interest in Tottenham midfielder Skip. Leicester have selected the skip as their main target and are in talks with Tottenham over the player's transfer, the report said.
Leicester handed Tottenham a difficult offer to turn down. Skip's current position at Tottenham is in jeopardy even for rotation members, and he offered a basic transfer fee of 20 million pounds (about 34.6 billion won) for such a player. In addition, it was found that he proposed a bonus clause of 5 million pounds (about 8.7 billion won) and a Cellon clause.

Tottenham were reluctant to let the skip go because of the homely clause, but decided to let the player go when Leicester offered a good offer. After Tottenham and Leicester reached an agreement over a skip move, British Telegraph reporter Mike McGrath said on his personal social media account that "Skip said goodbye to his Tottenham teammates ahead of his move to Leicester. Skip's move to Leicester is expected to be completed.'
Skip is a highly anticipated player who has been called Tottenham's next generation captain. Tottenham once expected young players to stand out on the first-team stage while investing a lot of money in youth policy, but most of them failed.

Still, the skip looked different. Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was so talented that he wanted to be in the first team immediately. It was through Norwich City's loan in the 2020-2021 season that Skip began to show talent.
Recognized for his outstanding performance in the English Championship, Skip joined the first team in earnest under Nunu Espitu Santo. Antonio Conte began to use Skip for the first team. At that time, Skip was so good that he was nicknamed Conte's crown prince.
But Skip's career at Tottenham was seriously twisted by injuries. Skipp, who suffered a pubic injury in January 2023, took a really long time to return, contrary to expectations he would return in a few weeks. He was infected during injury treatment and his injury worsened, and he returned only after the 2023-2024 season opened.

Despite the deterioration of the skip's injury, Tottenham trusted the player's revival and gave him a long-term contract. That's how much Tottenham were serious about skipping. After returning, the skip's performance was different from the past.
Under Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou, the skip gradually lost its place. Skip barely played as a starter as Pape Mata Sarr and Yves Bissouma came up. Coach Postecoglou even considered the change of the skip's position, but it was not successful.
This summer, Tottenham even recruited Archie Gray and Lucas Beribal as future resources, making the skip more narrow. Skip decided to leave the team he had grown attached to as his position narrowed.

Skip said on his personal social media that after 18 amazing years at my boyhood club, it's time to say goodbye. It's been an amazing journey I started from the age of 5 in 2006 to today in 2024. There are so many special memories that I will never forget. It was such an honor and privilege to play more than 100 games for the club. Lastly, I would like to thank all the fans, players, staff, and the chairman for doing this for me," he said in greeting.
