Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed a deal with Udinese for Destiny Udogie.

According to the Evening Standard, Spurs will pay £15million up front for the Italian full-back.

The fee could rise to £20million with add-ons, added the newspaper.

Udogie will reportedly agree terms and undergo a medical in Italy ahead of becoming a Spurs player.

However, the 19-year-old will apparently stay put at Udinese for the 2022-23 campaign.

There are no plans for Spurs to bring Udogie to N17 in order to conclude the deal, added the report.

Sky Sports, meanwhile, have claimed that Manchester City and Brighton had been tracking the youngster too.

Udogie is set to become Tottenham’s seventh signing of the summer transfer window.

Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic, Djed Spence, Clement Lenglet and Fraser Forster have joined Spurs this summer.

Tottenham about to land “the future of the Italian national team”?

Spurs have done superbly to land some great first-team ready players this summer.

However, Tottenham have also done well to snap up some top talents who look set for a huge future.

Last year, Spurs landed Pape Matar Sarr, and this summer, they now look set to land Udogie.

The 19-year-old is “the future of the Italian national team”, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Udogie joined Udinese last summer, arriving on a loan deal from boyhood club Hellas Verona.

He enjoyed a solid breakthrough campaign with Le Zebrette, with seven goals and five assists from 37 matches.

The Italy Under-21 international joined Udinese permanently this summer as part of an obligation to buy.

However, the Zebrette seem ready to cash in on him immediately.

Gabriele Cioffi has described Udogie as ‘extraordinary‘ and he looks to have a big future in the game.
