Destiny Udogie is watching Tottenham Hotspur closely as the Udinese defender prepares to make the move to North London next year.
Antonio Conte is devoted to a three-man back line with wing backs.
Those wing backs have a lot of responsibility; they must understand their defensive duties whilst being a major threat going forward.
Conte has been improving Ryan Sessegnon down the left side and added an experienced head in Ivan Perisic over the summer.
Tottenham also struck another deal though, securing a deal for Udinese talent Destiny Udogie.
Destiny Udogie is watching Tottenham
Tottenham agreed a deal worth £15million rising to £18million with Udinese before loaning Udogie straight back to the Italian club.
Spurs had clearly seen huge potential in Udogie and didn’t want to wait a year to negotiate a deal.
Tottenham seemingly feared that other clubs would move in for Udogie if they waited any longer and Fabio Paratici moved in to get a deal done.
Udogie, 19, has already shown that he is an exciting, attack-minded wing back with enormous potential.
Two goals and one assist in 11 Serie A games this season show Udogie’s talent and Tottenham will hope to see him thrive for years to come.
With Perisic on a two-year deal and Sessegnon improving, it’s unclear just how Conte will juggle those two as well as Udogie next season.
Still, Tottenham fans can be very excited about Udogie’s future and likely can’t wait to see the teenager in action for Spurs.
Udogie has now been quoted by Tuttomercatoweb as saying that he is focused on Udinese until his move to Tottenham actually happens.
Udogie praised the Premier League as ‘difficult, beautiful and intense’ whilst admitting that he is watching Tottenham closely.
The youngster admitted that he is studying Tottenham’s style of play and key players ahead of joining the setup next season, no doubt hoping that his research helps him settle in quickly.
“Now I’m here at Udinese, I’m focused,” said Udogie. “From next year I’ll think about Tottenham. I know it’s the most difficult, beautiful and intense league. I follow the team, to see how they play and what players there are,” he added.
