Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits they may see more of Oliver Skipp at left-back.

The midfielder played in an unusual full-back role against Liverpool in a 4-2 defeat.

While the change was made due to injuries, Postecoglou admits that it is always an option for him.

He stated to reporters: We have been working with Skippy the last few weeks. When we lost Destiny and Ben, left with Emerson who is not really a left-back, we were looking around at options and in training we have been using him in that space.

I thought he did well when he came on. The way we play with full-backs, certainly with some of the positioning, he wouldn't be too unfamiliar with the positions he would need to take up.

He is an option for us and I think we need another option because we have three games this week and we only have Emerson as a back-up full-back at the club."

On Skipp being a part of his plans, he added: Yeah, I don't see any reason why not. He probably feels like he could have played more this year.

With the way the season has gone for us in terms of our games programme, he has probably been one of the ones who has suffered because we haven't been able to get the game time rotations we need through the year. But yeah, I see Skippy as part of our future."
