These quotes were during the pre-season tour in the States.
After a handful of academy players trained with the first-team in pre-season, Eriksen said: "All of the young players have really shown great character.
"A lot of them have trained with us a few times, guys like Luke Amos and Anthony Georgiou. "But I think the guy who's the youngest is probably Skippy, who's really taken the game in his hands and is trying to do his thing. He's been very good."
Eriksen believes Skipp, who has played for England Under-18s, Under-17s and Under-16s, has the character to become a big star.
"First of all, his courage," the Dane said. "He is not scared to get the ball, he is not scared to go forward and he is not scared to tackle.
"He's an all-round midfielder. And I think with a lot of training, as he gets older, he will be there."
