Impact Skipp isn't expected to be a major presence in the first team this season after the arrivals of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, but he's certainly a capable player when available.

There still isn't much room for him in the midfield unless he takes the spot of Rodrigo Bentancur or Yves Bissouma.
