Destiny Udogie ‘exit on cards’ as Tottenham keen on transfer upgrade
Tottenham may have given Destiny Udogie an indication of where his future lies as they make plans for the upcoming transfer window.
The former Udinese left-back was one of the North London outfit’s best players last season, but he has struggled to live up to expectations in recent months.
Ange Postecoglou’s team are 14th in the Premier League and their prospects look bleak with seven games to go in the English top flight.
Injuries have hampered Udogie at Spurs in the current campaign, but the 22-year-old Italian has fallen short of standards when he has been available.
Postecoglou not helped by Udogie and teammates at Tottenham
Postecoglou will take most of the blame for the North London outfit’s failures this season as they endure one of their worst periods in recent history.
The Australian manager has seemingly been stubborn with his approach despite missing some key personnel, but the players need to take accountability for their abysmal displays.
Fitness issues have arguably taken a toll on the Lilywhites’ performances of late, with Archie Gray deputising as centre-back, highlighting the task at hand for the former Celtic boss.
Daniel Levy should be held accountable at Spurs after what’s happened, and fans are rightly raising their voice against the hierarchy.
Levy needs to sanction Spurs transfer overhaul next summer
Postecoglou has played Djed Spence at left-back, and the Australian manager looks to have finally unlocked the defender’s potential.
With the 24-year-old making himself a regular fixture in the starting lineup, the addition of a new full-back may lead to some exits.
Pedro Porro has been a pivotal player for the North London outfit over the years, and it would be surprising to see Levy sell him unless a massive offer is made.
Udogie could potentially be the candidate to leave Tottenham, with the Lilywhites interested in Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell, according to TBR Football.

The news outlet reports (9 April) that Spurs are keen on upgrading the left-hand side of their defence and are ready to push for the 25-year-old England international next summer.
Mitchell’s arrival would arguably mean more competition for a place in the starting lineup, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Udogie opt to take his chances elsewhere.
Spence’s versatility evidently makes him a valuable asset in the squad, and the former Udinese defender’s recent performances may lead to his prospects declining.
Whether the North Londoners can complete a deal for Mitchell in the coming months remains to be seen.
