Tottenham director of football Fabio Paratici has reportedly met with the agent of Destiny Udogie to discuss a move, although competition could emerge from Juventus, Megasportsarena.com understands.
Udogie is making a big impression in Italy. The 19-year-old left-back played 37 times for Udinese during the recent season, registering five goals and three assists.
He is a four-time Italy U21 international who appears set for bigger things.
This is nothing new for a club like Udinese, who finished 12th in Serie A during 2021-22. They sold Rodrigo de Paul to Atletico Madrid last year after the midfielder shone for them and proved he could make it at a bigger club.
Of course, Udinese aren’t the only mid-table team to be affected by this. Sassuolo, who recently came 11th in the Italian top flight, could lose Gianluca Scamacca after he hit 16 goals in 38 games.
Udogie became a target for Tottenham last week and Spurs want to bolster their ranks at left wing-back by capturing the exciting teenager.
Paratici met with the defender’s representative in London in the past few days.
The agent was already in the UK to speak with Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo, whose son Gino owns Watford.
Paratici will have spoken with Udogie’s agent about a possible transfer to
Udinese want £17.2million for the player.
Udogie was recently on the books of Hellas Verona. But following a season-long loan at Udinese, the club made him a permanent signing by paying £3.6m. They are now in line for a big profit.
