# Tottenham: Goalkeeper hails Destiny Udogie

**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have been told by Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri that they have an absolutely ‘devastating’ youngster in Destiny Udogie.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs sign Udogie…

Last year, Spurs put pen to paper on a deal for the Italian who became their seventh summer signing of what was a fairly busy window.

The 20-year-old comes with plenty of promise, and to further his development, the Lilywhites sent him back out on loan to Udinese for the whole of 2022/2023.

Udogie has continued to make strides in Serie A, remaining a [fixture](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/86/Show/Italy-Udinese) in their starting eleven under Andrea Sottil.

### The Latest: Silvestri heaps praise…

Speaking to website [Football Italia,](https://football-italia.net/silvestri-exclusive-cellinos-nonsense-leeds-decision-and-why-tottenham-will-love-udogie/) the Italian side’s keeper Silvestri has claimed Spurs supporters have a lot to look forward to come when it comes to Udogie.

He explained:

*“Destiny is a hard worker, Antonio Conte will love him. The only thing is that \[Udogie\] should only focus on the pitch. London has so much to offer, but I am convinced he won’t have problems and that he will play a lot because he is a devastating player.”*

### The Verdict: Very exciting…

The Italy Under-21 international has been a key player yet again for Udinese this season, starting 18 league matches and the fifth-most minutes of any player in their side [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/86/Show/Italy-Udinese)

In that time, only Rodrigo Becao has averaged [more tackles per 90](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/86/Show/Italy-Udinese) than Udogie domestically with the left-back able to contribute both defensively and going forward.

Indeed, the Spurs starlet is a real threat for Udinese as he enjoys a thoroughly productive loan spell – ranking in their top four in terms of key passes made and completed dribbles per 90 [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/86/Show/Italy-Udinese)

Once he returns to Hotspur Way, Udogie will surely be a major presence in the Spurs squad given just how regularly he has turned it on in Italy.
