Udinese wing-back Destiny Udogie’s agent has admitted that Napoli tried to sign him before he was hooked by Tottenham Hotspur.
Udogie is on-loan at Udinese after being sold to Spurs this summer.
Agent Stefano Antonelli revealed: “This summer I went to Napoli’s training camp in Dimaro. On that occasion (sporting director Cristiano) Giuntoli asked me for Udogie, but it was a difficult time.
“There was a bit of sadness in the environment, we were navigating by sight, we didn’t know the real intentions of president (Aurelio) De Laurentiis and there were a number of situations.
“That wasn’t the right moment to close that negotiation, which at another time could absolutely have been concluded positively.”
