He scored his first goal for the club in Sunday\u2019s\u00a04-1 win at home to Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<p>Udogie signed for Tottenham on a five-year deal during the 2022 summer\u00a0transfer\u00a0window but was loaned back to Udinese for the 2022\/23 season. Spurs\u2019 willingness to include such a clause in the deal helped them beat Brighton &amp; Hove Albion to his signature, while he was one of the final signings made by former managing director of football Fabio Paratici.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/01hhc79bt49qdv8axc1c.jpg\" alt=\"Destiny Udogie\" title=\"Destiny Udogie\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Udogie scored his first Spurs goal at the weekend \/ Julian Finney\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Prior to the start of the 2023\/24 campaign, question marks were raised over whether Udogie could play as an orthodox left-back having almost exclusively played as a wing-back during his career, but he has transitioned into this new role seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou has often asked Udogie to come infield and play almost as a number ten, while defensively he has held his own in matchups against the likes of Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka.<\/p>\n<p>Udogie made his senior Italy debut in October in a Euro 2024 qualifier with Malta, assisting Davide Frattesi\u2019s stoppage-time goal.
