Italian-Nigerian defender expected to complete his move to Tottenham Hotspur next week

Italy U21 international of Nigerian descent Destiny Udogie is expected to complete his transfer to Tottenham Hotspur next week.

Italian transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano says the Udinese defender will fly to the English capital on Monday, August 15 in order to undergo medical tests with Tottenham Hotspur the following day, contrary to earlier reports that the Italian-Nigerian would have a medical in Italy.

Romano added that Udogie will sign his contract with Spurs next Tuesday in the afternoon, subject to him passing the medical.

Udinese claimed that he wasn't named in the matchday squad for the Coppa Italia clash versus Feralpisalò on August 5 due to a slight physical problem.

The talented teenager is expected to be immediately loaned back to Udinese, where he will finish the 2022-2023 season, before returning to Spurs next season.

This summer, Tottenham Hotspur have bolstered their squad with the captures of Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Djed Spence, Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Clément Lenglet.
