Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Tottenham Hotspur duo Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte both want to sign Destiny Udogie from Udinese in the summer transfer window.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Tottenham head coach Conte and Managing Director of Football Paratici are “both admirers of” the 19-year-old Italy Under-21 international left-back.
Romano has added that Italian club Udinese want to keep the teenager on loan until next summer.
The Telegraph have reported that Tottenham will have to pay Udinese £21 million in transfer fees if they are to complete the deal for the rising Italian star this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur want Destiny Udogie
One for the future
In our view, Destiny Udogie would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the long run.
The 19-year-old did well for Udinese during his loan spell from Hellas Verona last season and showed that he can hold his own in the Italian top flight.
Udogie made 29 starts and six substitute appearances in Serie A last season.
The Italy Under-21 international left-back scored five goals and provided four assists in those games.
Now, of course, we must be patient with Udogie because he is only 19, but he is certainly a gem who is a rising star in Italian football.
