On 29 August 2018, Skipp signed a three-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur.[4] He made his professional debut for Tottenham in the 3–1 EFL Cup win over West Ham United on 31 October 2018.[5] He made his Premier League debut in the home match against Southampton, coming on as a late substitute in a game that Tottenham won 3–1.[6]

Skipp made his first Premier League starting the home match on 15 December 2018 against Burnley that ended in a 1–0 win.[7]

In January 2019, Skipp had his first involvement in a goal in Tottenham's 7–0 win against Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup, with two assists.[8]

On 17 July 2020, Skipp signed a new three-year contract with the option of a fourth with Tottenham.[9] For the 2020–21, season he joined Norwich City on loan.[10] He scored the first goal of his career in Norwich's 3–1 win at Birmingham City on 23 February 2021.[11] Skipp went on to help Norwich win the Championship and was included in the 2021 PFA Team of the Year.[12]

Skipp established himself as a regular starter for Tottenham in the first half of the 2021-22 season, making 18 appearances before suffering a pelvic injury in January, which saw him miss the rest of the season.[13] On 20 April 2022, Skipp signed a new five-year contract with Tottenham that is set to expire in 2027.[14]
