‘Debut goal thanks to SON!’ Udogie signs long-term deal with Tottenham until June 2030

Destiny Udogie, the future of Tottenham’s defense, has signed a new contract.

“Destiny Udogie has signed a new contract,” Tottenham Hotspur announced on its official website on Wednesday (KST).

The re-signing was already expected. Fabrizio Romano, a journalist familiar with the European soccer transfer market, said on the 11th, “Tottenham are very happy with Udogie. They have agreed to a salary increase. A long-term contract is expected.”

Then, on the 12th, he said, “Udogie has already agreed with Tottenham. It is a contract until 2029, with an option for a one-year extension.”

Udogie is a physically gifted lateral defender. At 6-foot-2, he’s quick and athletic. He is a very active player, often moving up and down the field. He often penetrates into the penalty box and puts pressure on the opposing defense.

Udogie grew up in the youth ranks of Italian side Elas Verona. He made his senior debut in the 2020/21 season, making seven appearances. His potential was recognized and after a year on loan, he moved to Udinese on a free transfer. In his first season, he soared. In 37 games, he scored five goals and provided three assists.

His performances caught the eye of scouts around the world. Just before the start of last season, Tottenham made a move for Udogie, eventually paying a transfer fee of over €20 million.

He spent one more season with Udinese before joining Spurs. He had a decent season with Udinese last season. He scored three goals and provided four assists in 34 games. He was a Golden Boy 40 nominee and Udinese Player of the Month. 헤라카지노

Udogie came into his own under Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou. Soon after joining the club, he beat out competition from established defenders like Sergio Reguilon and Ryan Sessegnon. He earned trust by playing the “inverted fullback” role, which is essential to Postecoglou’s tactics. He has one goal and two assists in 14 games this season.

Scored his Tottenham debut against Newcastle last time out. In the 26th minute, Son Heung-min beat Trippier down the left flank and sent in a low left-footed cross for Udogie to neatly finish for the 1–0 lead. Tottenham went on to win 4–1 behind Udogie’s performance.
