Tottenham have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Udinese for talented left back Destiny Udogie.
The 19-year-old Italian full back shot to prominence last season after an incredibly impressive debut campaign in Udine. Udogie scored five goals and provided three assists in 35 Serie A appearances, and his work soon caught the attention of Antonio Conte’s Spurs, who have paid particular attention to Italy following the appointment of Fabio Paratici.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham have now agreed a deal with Udinese for Udogie and things will be finalised this week. The 19-year-old will then immediately return to Udine on loan, allowing him to continue his development with consistent minutes in Italy.
The 19-year-old Udogie is one of the most exciting young talents in Serie A and it only seems like a matter of time until he’s given his Italy debut by Roberto Mancini. The teenager has already made four appearances for the Under-21 side.
