Three Tottenham players will come face-to-face with new signing Destiny Udogie for the very first time during the international break. With various players heading off across the globe, Ryan Sessegnon, Djed Spence and Oliver Skipp will represent England Under-21s in their two games.
First up is a trip to Pescara to face Italy Under-21s on Thursday, September 22, before they host Germany Under-21s at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane five days later. The encounter against Italy will see the Spurs trio play against Udogie, with Spence set to face a real battle down the wing against the youngster if both do indeed start.
Udogie looks destined to represent the Azzurri's senior side at some point in the not too distant future, with his Udinese boss even making it clear a few days ago that he was "surprised" the 19-year-old wasn't included by Roberto Mancini for their UEFA Nations League fixtures. "These decisions surprised me. I respect Mancini’s choices, but I was still surprised. I think Udogie is one of the best full-backs in the league, he proves that all the time," said Andrea Sottil (as reported by Football Italia).
