Tottenham Hotspur want Destiny Udogie and have held talks with his representatives after they made the trip over to London.
Tottenham have already snapped up two signings this summer with Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic signing on free transfers.
Fabio Paratici will have other targets in mind and may go back to the Italian market for more reinforcements.
Who can blame him? Paratici knows the Italian market well and had brought the likes of Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from Italy to Tottenham.
Those signings have been great successes for Tottenham and Paratici appears to have his next Serie A target in mind.
Tottenham Hotspur want Destiny Udogie
Reports from Italy last week suggested that Udogie is on Tottenham’s radar for a summer move.
That seems to have accelerated very quickly as Sky Sports now claim that Tottenham are pushing ahead with a potential deal.
It’s stated that director of football Fabio Paratici has now met with Udogie’s representatives after they travelled over to London.
Udogie’s agents are trying to drive down Udinese’s asking price in order to facilitate a move away this summer.
Juventus are also interested but it’s Tottenham who seem to be making the strongest push for Udogie.
Udogie, 19, played 35 times in Serie A last season, shining with five goals and four assists for Udinese.
Primarily a left wing back, Udogie has become a regular for Italy’s Under-21’s and is seem as a real talent for the future.
Hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by boss Gabriele Cioffi in January, Udogie has enjoyed a meteoric rise in Serie A.
Still only technically on loan from Hellas Verona, Udogie will join Udinese permanently at the end of the month.
Udinese could then flip Udogie for a quick profit with Tottenham positioning themselves to sign him.
This may be one where Tottenham look to sign Udogie and loan him out for first-team experience before eventually becoming a first-team player in North London.
