Official : Super Eagles-eligible defender completes transfer to Tottenham Hotspur

Through their official website, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Super Eagles-eligible left-back Destiny Udogie.

After passing a medical examination, the Italy U21 international put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Spurs until the summer of 2027.

However, Udogie will return to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2023-2024 season as he has been loaned out to Udinese for the remainder of the current campaign.

The 19-year-old is the seventh player signed by Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, after Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Djed Spence, Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Clément Lenglet.

He put himself in the shop window after scoring five goals and setting up three more in 35 Serie A outings over the course of last season while on loan at Udinese.

The Little Zebras signed him on a permanent deal from Hellas Verona in July.

A member of Italy's squad to the 2019 European U17 Championship, Udogie has also represented his country of birth at U16, U18, U19 and U20 levels.
