Destiny Udogie has signed a new six-and-a-half-year deal with Tottenham just three months after making his Premier League debut.
The Italy international born to Nigerian parents in Italy penned a contract with Spurs until the summer of 2030.
‘I’m really happy because I think to be here at this club is a big joy for me, so I’m really happy for this opportunity and it’s a pleasure [to be here],’ Udogie said.
From the first day I came here, I’ve felt at home with the players, the coaching staff and the club. I feel so welcome and I’m happy to be here.
Udogie, who turned 21 at the end of November, signed for Spurs from Udinese in the summer of 2022 for £15million but remained on loan to the Serie A side for the whole of last season.
Udogie made his Premier League against Brentford in August and has since made 14 appearances for Spurs – all of them as a starter – and scored his first goal for the club in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
He earned his first call-up to the Italy senior squad in October 2023, making his debut the same month in a Euro 2024 qualifying fixture against Malta.
Udogie won a second cap in October, playing in Italy’s 3-1 defeat against England at Wembley in a Euro 2024 qualifying.
