Tottenham Hotspur are edging ever-closer to the signing of Udinese defender Destiny Udogie as Sky Sports now share another exciting update.

The Lowdown: Spurs back Conte...

The Lilywhites got off to a flying start on Saturday afternoon, thumping Southampton 4-1 in their opening match of the Premier League campaign.

Goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Mohammed Salisu (own goal) and Dejan Kulusevski gifted Antonio Conte's side an easy win and all three points following the shock of an early opener from Saints captain James Ward-Prowse.

This comes after Conte' was well and truly backed in the transfer market, with six first-team signings coming in after ENIC granted a £150m equity increase.

The sky is seemingly the limit for Spurs as Sky Sports share an exciting update on the chase to sign Udogie.

The Latest: Sky share exciting Udogie update...

Indeed, the broadcast giant shared the news that negotiations are advanced for the 19-year-old following Fabrizio Romano's claim that personal terms have been agreed.

Sky Italy add that Udogie is 'getting closer and closer to becoming a new Tottenham player', with the Lilywhites 'expected' to close the deal at the beginning of next week.

The Verdict: Great news...

Backing Romano's claim that Udogie is nearing a move to north London, Sky's report is great news and further reinforces the likelihood that Tottenham could be about to make their seventh summer signing.

While he is seen as one for the future, Udogie appears to be a truly stellar prospective addition given his huge potential, with former Udinese boss Gabriele Cioffi even branding him 'extraordinary' despite the left-back still being just a teenager.
