On Wednesday, we carried a report from Sky Italia which stated Tottenham Hotspur have made a €25m bid to Udinese for Destiny Udogie.
Juventus, Inter Milan, Lazio, Brighton & Hove Albion and even Manchester City have looked at the left-back, who can also operate as a left wing-back or further forward.
That’s according to Calciomercato, who add Tottenham have an advantage over these clubs to sign the player.
That’s because the 19-year-old has ‘said yes’ to Spurs, the ‘most Italian’ team in the Premier League.
Udinese were against the idea of selling their star this summer, but changed their stance and ‘decided to say yes to the proposal of Tottenham’.
It’s said the contacts for the Italy U21 international have been going on for over a month, in alternating phases, given the high demands set by the Serie A side’s owners, the Pozzo family.
In the last few hours, Tottenham have reached a ‘verbal agreement’ with Udinese for a deal worth €25m including bonuses. As a part of the agreement, Antonio Conte’s side will allow Udogie to return to the Italian club on a season-long loan deal.
