Antonio Conte took it, but Ange Postecoglou is enjoying it. Destiny Udogie is doing very well at Tottenhamhas already collected 16 appearances with the club, 6 with the national team, where however he has an opponent like Federico Dimarco on the left wing. Postecoglou helped him a lot, because “The day I arrived he called me to tell me that I was a key player for him and explained to me what he wanted from me”. Also because in Udine he managed to explode with the 3-5-2, as a full-back winger, while in London he switched to being a wing defender for a back four. In the first season he was also named among the best young people of the year.
Some time ago Udogie spoke of his name like this. “Let’s say it’s a name with a meaning, it’s up to me to demonstrate its value on the field. The most important lesson that my parents taught me is to always be humble, despite everything, they told me from an early age to respect others and not to look down on anyone. My biggest dream is to wear blue, it represents the whole nation, there is nothing more beautiful. I spoke to my father since I was little, I grew up with the youth team.”
Born in Verona to Nigerian parents, he was purchased in 2022 for around twenty million, only to remain at Udinese for another season. Destiny Udogie turns 22 today.
