Destiny Udogie has already signed for Tottenham Hotspur and the Italian media have been blown away by his latest performance.
Tottenham struck a very interesting deal over the summer as they secured Udogie’s signature.
Fabio Paratici pounced to secure Udogie in a deal worth £15million rising to £18million.
Tottenham immediately allowed Udogie to return to Udinese on loan for the 2022-23 season though, continuing his development in Italy.
Spurs seemingly didn’t want to risk waiting a year and missing out on Udogie, especially with other clubs already looking at him last year.
Udogie will join up with Tottenham at the end of the season and the hype is really building over the youngster.
Italian press rave about Tottenham-bound Destiny Udogie
Udogie was in action for Udinese on Wednesday night as they faced Empoli in Serie A.
Udinese claimed a 1-1 draw and couldn’t force a win after an Empoli red card on 79 minutes.
Udogie lined up as Udinese’s left wing back and made a huge impact by setting up Roberto Pereyra’s equaliser with a lovely ball into the box.
The stats from Udogie’s performance were pretty incredible.
Udogie created six chances, won three tackles and made four ball recoveries in stats provided by Serie A Scout on Twitter.
Tuttomercatoweb were hugely impressed with Tottenham-bound Udogie, handing him a 7/10 rating – the best of any Udinese player.
They described Udogie’s impact as ‘uncatchable’ because he is simply so fast when flying up the left flank.
They added that Udogie being substituted was ‘devastating’ because Udinese lost all of their attacking ability without him on the pitch.
This is all enormous praise for a 20-year-old yet this is the kind of talent Tottenham have signed – and fans will be getting very excited about seeing him in a Spurs shirt.
