Guglielmo Vicario has singled out his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Destiny Udogie for praise and feels the youngster is perfect for Premier League football.

The goalkeeper has been speaking to Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb and labelled Udogie his ‘little bother’ at Tottenham.

Both Vicario and Udogie have made a huge impact at Spurs so far this term.

Udogie finally linked up with his Tottenham teammates after initially joining from Udinese last summer before spending the season on loan at his former club.

The 20-year-old has adjusted to life in England with ease and has been one of the standout full-backs in the Premier League this season.

Indeed, he was recently ranked as the third-best U21 player in the league so far this campaign, above the likes of Levi Colwill.

And Vicario believes Udogie has all the attributes to become a top player in England.

Speaking to TuttoMercatoWeb, Vicario heaped praise on Udogie after a positive start to life at Tottenham. 

“Udogie is my little brother, he has physical and technical qualities of the highest level, he has explosive athleticism and fits like a glove for what is the Premier League,” he said.

“In the locker room we use the Italian language. There are fantastic guys who work to do better and better and to get great satisfaction.

“On the English language… I’ve always tried to study it during the school period and there are always some classmates on the field with whom you can have a conversation and keep it alive.”

Based on Udogie’s performances in a Spurs shirt so far, it’s hard to disagree with Vicario’s assessment of the full-back.

The Italy international missed Tottenham’s win over Crystal Palace last week but has started in every other Premier League game.

He faces a race to be fit for Spurs’ crunch clash against Chelsea on Monday and you’d imagine that Ange Postecoglou will be desperate for him to feature.
