Juventus and Inter were also interested in the 19-year-old but were not prepared to invest level of money for that position. The two clubs were locked in talks on Monday and reached an agreement late at night. Udogie is set to be loaned back to Udinese for the 2022-23 season and join up with Antonio Conte and his team for pre-season next summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an initial £15million ($18.14m) fee with Udinese for the signing of left-back Destiny Udogie, The Athletic understands.

Director of football Fabio Paratici is also known to have followed Udogie’s career, which has seen him represent Italy at various youth levels, up to the under-21s.

In 2019-20, he broke into the U18 and U19 sides, but is now a fully fledged U21 international, having made his debut in a 3-0 victory over Luxembourg in a 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier. Before that, he registered three goals in 29 appearances for the U16, U17, U18 and U19 sides.
