'Has been outstanding' - Ex-England GK speaks highly of Tottenham Hotspur rising star Udogie 

Retired England international goalkeeper Paul Robinson has praised Destiny Udogie and believes that the talented fullback has won the hearts of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

The young defender has settled in brilliantly in the Premier League and has not looked like a player playing in his first season in the English top flight.

The Italy U21 international of Nigerian descent has established himself as the first-choice left-back for Ange Postecoglou's side, displacing  the more experienced Ben Davies.

He has had to face Manchester United's Antony, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and performed considerably well.

Robinson believes the 20-year-old has been outstanding in the colours of Tottenham and his performances have won the fans over.

"Their strength has never been their defence, but the signing of Van de Ven, Udogie this year, has been outstanding, I think he's been a great find, the way he plays endears himself to the supporters immediately simply because of some of the stuff they've had to watch the past 18 months," Robinson told The Debrief via The Boot Room.

Udogie will be hoping to continue his brilliant start to life in north London when Spurs face newly promoted Luton Town in the early kick-off on Saturday on matchday 8 of the Premier League.

He is yet to taste a Premier League defeat after seven matches for the Lilywhites.
