Manchester City are interested to sign Tottenham Hotspur left-back Destiny Udogie this summer, according to a report.
City wanted a new full-back in the January transfer window and were strongly linked with a move for Andrea Cambiaso of Juventus, who remains on the radar heading into the summer. With Liverpool also keen on Cambiaso, Manchester City are drawing up a list of possible alternatives and Fabrizio Romano names Tottenham hotspur’s defender, Udogie as a target.
The Incoming sporting director Hugo Viana is said to be a huge fan of Udogie and the CITIZENS are “closely tracking” the 22-year-old, who Spurs are incredibly reluctant to lose.
Udogie’s last season’s appearance was really amazing and Spurs recognise the Italy international as one of the most important young players in the squad.
City are willing to stretch Udogie’s contract to 2030 and convert him to right back.
It is suggested that Udogie is appealing because of his ability to play on both sides of defence, although Spurs fans are yet to see much evidence that he boasts any confidence with his right foot.
Right-back is thought to be as a priority for City, who are prepared to replace Kyle Walker in the likely event AC Milan make his loan deal permanent this summer.
Pep Guardiola has used midfielder Matheus Nunes as his preferred right-back in recent weeks, admitting it could be a permanent position change as the Portugal international is “not clever enough” to play the midfield position.
