Tottenham Hotspur have placed a bid for Udinese’s fullback Destiny Udogie, who can play left midfield or left-back, according to reports from Italy.
Sky Italia (via Tutto Mercato Web) claims Spurs are ‘pressing’ for the signing, having put an offer worth €25m, including bonuses, on the table.
Tottenham are said to be interested in guaranteeing Udogie as a prospect for the future. As a proof of that, Antonio Conte is willing to let him stay at Udinese for a year on loan, while he gets more experience in Serie A.
Udogie comes from Hellas Verona’s youth ranks. Last year, he joined the Udine side on a loan move, which became permanent this summer.
He had a promising first season at the club, with five goals and three assists in 37 appearances,. He’s played in all the youth ranks for the Italian national side.
