Last summer, Tottenham Hotspur signed Destiny Udogie from Udinese and sent him back on a season-long loan deal to the Serie A side.
Antonio Conte was in charge at the north London club when they agreed a deal for the 20-year-old and was replaced by Ange Postecoglou earlier this month.
Udogie’s agent Stefano Antonelli had a chat with Sky Italia, relayed by Calciomercato, where he explained that the left-back has convinced the new Tottenham manager.
“Udogie’s story is clear. He’s from Tottenham and we’ve also had contacts in the last few days because they’ve changed the management, the coach and because they’ll play 4-3-3 and no longer 3-5-2,” he said.
Earlier this month, Ferdinando Guarino, an agent who’s part of the agency that manages the Italian, had also insisted the player has several admirers.
Udogie was part of the Italy U21 squad that was eliminated from the group stages of the European championship. Antonelli has now revealed that Tottenham have contacted him to explain their immediate plans for the defender.
“But today I received a call from the head of the technical area who asked us to confirm the program after Italy U21 left the European championship,” Antonelli explained.
“They want to take him on tour in Thailand. They guarantee us the importance of the player to date, we will evaluate everything, but he is from Tottenham.”
Antonelli’s comments would hint there’s unlikely to be any movements with regards to Udogie’s future in the coming days.
