Destiny Udogie has flown out for his Tottenham Hotspur medical and the Udinese man assures he is ‘convinced I can improve further with Antonio Conte.’
The wing-back will move for €18m plus another €7m in add-ons, but the decision is also to leave him on loan in Udine for the rest of the 2022-23 season.
He did not participate in last night’s 4-2 Serie A defeat to Milan, officially due to a slight muscular problem.
Spotted at the airport this afternoon, Udogie told reporters including Tuttomercatoweb why he was making the transfer to London.
“I am very happy. It’s a great sensation going to the Premier League, working with Conte and signing for Tottenham.
“I am convinced that I can improve further with Conte. For now, it is also important to return to Udinese on loan, as I want to have a good season.”
The 19-year-old is an Italy Under-21 international, born in Verona to Nigerian parents.
He was accompanied on the flight to London by intermediary Gianluca Di Carlo, agents Stefano Antonelli and Ferdinando Guarino.
Conte improves and inspires players, allegri, who piggybacked on his success for years, simply throws them under the bus.
@martinn he didn’t piggyback, he vastly outperformed him with the same squad lol
