New Tottenham Hotspur signing Destiny Udogie has given supporters an insight into what they can expect from him when he returns to the club next season.

The 19-year-old sealed his move from Udinese on Tuesday evening, having signed a five-year contract in north London and will return to his former club on loan for the remainder of the current campaign (Spurs official).

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claimed last week that wing-back would cost €20m (£16.8m), however, Alastair Gold revealed that the fee agreed is lesser than first thought, with Spurs paying an initial £15m to for the Italian Under-21 international which could rise to £18m in the future (Football. London).

The 19-year-old expressed his delight at the prospect of playing under Antonio Conte in the future and believes that he will only grow as a player by learning from the Tottenham head coach.

Udogie told the official Spurs website: “It’s a big honour for me to be here, with this big team, a big club with a big history,”

“I can attack and defend. I like to show my quality to attack one versus one, dribble… It’s an honour to play under a big coach like Antonio Conte. He knows football very well and I’m going to grow a lot.”
“I think the Premier League is the biggest league in the world, the most difficult and I like challenges. I’m excited to start and, for me, to play for a big team like Tottenham is a big dream come true.”
“I want to grow as much as I can [back at Udinese], to understand the game a little bit more and obviously play my best season in Serie A.”
Our View
As the player himself claims, Udogie is equally adept at defence and attack. He is good in one-versus-one situations and can contribute a lot to an Antonio Conte system.
One thing that really stands out is the 19-year-old’s confidence at such a young age and the fact that he is so confident of succeeding at the club is a positive thing. Udogie will want to go back to continue his impressive form before coming back to Hotspur Way a better player next season.
