Tottenham Hotspur have signed Destiny Udogie from Udinese on a five-year deal but have loaned the highly-rated defender back to the Serie A club for the 2022-23 season, the Premier League side said on Tuesday.
Sources told ESPN last week that Tottenham were paying around £21 million for the 19-year-old Italy youth international, including an initial £15m with a series of performance related add-ons worth in the region of £6m.
