Manchester City are looking for a new player to strengthen their defence. Destiny Udogie. The young Italian international, currently at Tottenham, could become a key player in Pep Guardiola’s plans for next season. At only 22 years old, he has caught the attention of the current Premier League champions, who are looking for someone to cover the left side of the field.
The Citizens are looking to strengthen this area, where Josko Gvardiol, despite his efforts, has played out of his natural position for much of the season. The team lost Sergio Gomez last summer, and although they have considered Andrea Cambiaso, they are also interested in Udogie because he has played in England before and has experience in English football.
The interest of the Citizens responds to the need to consolidate an area where Josko Gvardiol, despite his efforts, has played out of his natural position for much of the season. The departure of Sergio Gomez last summer left a gap that has not yet been definitively filled, and although names such as Andrea Cambiaso are also on the table, Udogie represents an attractive alternative both in terms of projection and experience in English football.
Manchester City want to sign Udogie
The Verona-born player, who trained at the Hellas academy, became famous at Udinese before moving to London. Although his performances for Spurs have been a bit up and down, he has been playing quite a lot and has shown attacking qualities that could suit City’s style.
He has played over 50 times for Tottenham and 11 times for Italy’s senior national team, and this has made a number of European clubs interested in signing him. However, it will not be a straightforward move. The north London club knows he has the potential, and it is not clear if they would agree to let him leave this summer.
But Manchester City have already made secret moves to try to get him to sign for them. They need a left-back to make their team better.
With over 50 appearances for Tottenham and eleven appearances for Italy’s senior national team, Udogie has attracted interest from a number of European clubs. However, it will not be a straightforward move. The north London club value his potential and it is unclear whether they would agree to negotiate his departure this summer.
What is certain is that Manchester City have already made discreet moves to position themselves in the race for his signature, in search of a left-back to complement and increase the competitiveness of the squad.
