Scout report
O. Skipp is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Leicester, rated 60.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 209th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (67.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Skipp.
Judged on this season alone, Skipp graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.249 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 33% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Skipp is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.3, Skipp carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 33%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Leicester finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
