Udogie exit ‘to be signed off immediately’ after major £30m Tottenham update
Destiny Udogie’s future at Tottenham has been up in the air for some time now, but after the latest update, there is only one possible outcome.
Tottenham’s main focus for now will be on Europa League success, given that it is their only chance at a trophy, and the only way they can qualify for European football next season.
A failure to achieve that would not only shine an even more negative light on the current campaign, but it could be a disaster for Tottenham in the summer when it comes to recruitment and finances.
With their clash with Frankfurt rapidly approaching, attention will be on that, but after the latest news from North London, it’s evident that they have one eye on the summer transfer window.
Tottenham keen on AC Milan defender who could replace Udogie
Udogie has been mooted for an exit from Tottenham this summer, though it’s likely they will only sanction that if they can sign a replacement capable of improving that area of the team.
Players like Milos Kerkez would be an option, especially if Andoni Iraola gets the job, but according to a report from TBR, Spurs have much, much bigger plans.

AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez is said to be a target for Tottenham, and given his reputation and high-level performances in Italy, his addition would immediately blow any concern over Udogie’s exit away.
The Frenchman is believed to be available for around £30million in the summer, and at a price like that, it’s one that Spurs do not even have time to deliberate over a deal.
Tottenham need to recruit well this summer, and the signing of Hernandez would be a huge one.
Europa League success could determine Tottenham recruitment
If Spurs can offer Champions League football next season, the player pool for potential signings becomes increasingly larger.
However, if they can’t, a lack of European football will be off-putting to potential targets.
Ange Postecoglou is under pressure to deliver that success, and a failure to do so could be costly for all parties.
