Tottenham have confirmed their seventh signing of the summer, bringing in Destiny Udogie from Udinese on a five-year deal.
Spurs fans will have to wait to see their new right-back in action however, as he will spend the rest of this season on loan in Serie A.
Tottenham Have Confirmed Their Seventh Signing Of The Summer. Udogie, 19, played 35 times for Udinese in Serie A last season, scoring 5 goals and assisting twice.
He was initially on loan from Hellas Verona before his current side made the deal permanent for £3.6m this summer.
Although Spurs did not mention a figure, Fabrizio Romano set the fee at €18m (£15.14m) meaning a nice profit for Udinese.
Djed Spence arrived at the club this summer and will compete with Emerson Royale and Matt Doherty for a place this season, but Udogie will back himself to win minutes next campaign. Highly-rated and already playing top level football, this looks like a smart investment from Spurs. Even if he does not develop into a starting right-back, he should retain his value at such a young age.
