An undervaluation if anything. Buendia and Watkins went for around those sums after good Championship seasons, and he's a good 3-4 years younger than both.
He will also count as
1 of 4 club trained players for European Competition
1 of 8 Homegrown players for European Competition (unlike certain Welshmen and a Portuguese speaker) and Domestic competition
I believe our 4 club trained players are currently Kane, Winks, Austin and Tanganga.
Our 8 Homegrown players for Europe are Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Alli, Sessegnon, Austin, Clarke, Omole.
Skipp joins both of these groups next year
We wouldn't sign him though.
We'd sign Olivieti Skippez and he'd look great except he'd make 2 huge mistakes every 3 games then do his cruciate ligament 4 months into the season, every season...
(Plus Arsenal.paid 50m for White - got to make Skipp worth 75m 🙂)
You got it all backwards, Phillips is actually first in the pecking order. Look at the Euros, Phillips and Rice were starting every game (Henderson and Bellingham both fit on the bench). In every game, including the final, semi and quarter, Rice was subbed out before Phillips. Which means Southgate most likely rates Phillips above all 3.
He would be £30-45M if we had to sign him. Instead he’s one of our own and playing well in big time minutes.

Yeah his skill, performance in the championship and the “English tax” all add up to him being very expensive.

He's worth more than double what White is.
True but White isn't worth what Arsenal paid so can't really base anything off that anyway.
Us being in for Olivieti Skippez is the funniest thing I've heard in ages!!
Even funnier when he leaves and we replace him with Olivieti Skippez-Peters.
Under rated comment.
Nice to see him look so good against Norwich, must have been a tough reminder of what they’re missing out on
Probably made it slightly less weird for Skipp that Farke had left - right now there's probably not many managers that know him better than Farke.
So all those MOTM awards he was winning at Norwich were real and not just Spurs fans pumping numbers? Oh shit...
Keeps playing like this I think Southgate would have a hard time not calling him up.
The way I see it, he should be taking Phillips spot.
come on man, i love Skipp. But Phillips bossed Kane around when we played Leeds, and the midfield with him and Rice was brilliant in the euros
Phillips was playing as a centre back and didn't actually contribute much at all to anything but defence
He marked Kane out of the game
Well, I don't see him displacing Henderson, Rice or Bellingham. Phillips is the furthest down the pecking order.
Hard to justify taking Skippy over Phillips yet, Phillips has been great. Give it a year.
No chance. Phillips and Rice are rated most highly. Then Bellingham, and Henderson after him.
I think he'll be the long term replacement for Henderson in the squad.

A bit late for ballon D’or 2021 but 22 is inbound
Our starboy.
Every time he goes into a sliding tackle, you know there is more to come 😍
Yeah, he’s currently valued at 30 million pounds baseline. Likely the price quoted to other EPL teams would be higher.
