Udogi, who plays at left fullback, joined Tottenham Hotspur last summer for 18 million euros in transfer fees. However, he did not immediately join Tottenham, and spent one season on loan at Udinese (Italy). Last season, Tottenham did not have many chances as Ivan Perisic was the starting player. Instead, Udogi played in 33 league matches (31 starts) for Udinese and gained experience. He also scored three goals and four assists.
Udogi, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in this season, continued his stellar performance. He scored one goal and two assists in 14 league matches. Udogi has a season rating of 6.72, based on the European soccer statistics magazine Hucored Dotcom. He scored an average of 2.7 tackles, 2.6 interceptions per game, and 1.4 interceptions per game.
In the Premier League’s 16th round match against Newcastle on the 11th, Udogi scored an emotional transfer debut goal. “Captain” Son Heung-min assisted Udogi’s goal. In the 26th minute of the first half, from the left side of the penalty box, Son Heung-min relieved the opponent’s defensive pressure and sent a quick pass to the goal. Udogi calmly pushed this in and shook the net. Tottenham crushed the strong Newcastle 4-1 with Udogi’s first goal, Hishalisson’s multi-goal, and Son Heung-min’s wedge goal. Tottenham ended its five-game losing streak and added a dramatic victory. Currently, Tottenham is in fifth place in the league with nine wins, three draws, and four losses (30 points). It is chasing fourth-place Manchester City (33 points).
Along with Hishalisson, Udogi was named one of the best 11 players in the 16th round league by the Premier League secretariat. Udogi is a top promising player with versatile skills. He is an aggressive defender and even a midfielder on the side depending on the team’s situation. For Udinese, he mainly played wing-back role, which is ahead of three-back. Tottenham manager Andrzej Postecoglou is using four-back, but Udogi quickly adapted to his new role and secured the main position. He already got accepted points early on and renewed his contract for a long time. Udogi is a young player at 21. Tottenham will likely not have to worry about its left defense going forward.
Originally from Elas Verona Youth in Italy, Udogi is 186 centimeters tall and physically fit. He played six Serie A matches during the 2020-2021 season, making his debut season. Afterwards, he moved to Tottenham Hotspur through Udinese. He has dual citizenship in Italy and Nigeria, and served in Italy’s national teams by age from U-16 to U-21. He recently joined the Italian adult national team and played in matches. In October, he joined the Azuri team and played in matches against Malta and England.
