Tottenham confirm new long-term Destiny Udogie contract

Tottenham have announced Destiny Udogie has signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract.

The left-back has agreed a bumper deal that will keep him at Spurs until 2030.

Spurs signed Udogie from Udinese for an initial £15million in 2022 and, after he spent last season back on loan at the Serie A club, he has been outstanding as an attacking, 'inverted' full-back in Ange Postecoglou's new-look side.

His new deal is a significant pay rise for the 21-year-old, reflecting his status as one of Spurs' most important players and a full Italy international.

Udogie has started 14 of their 16 Premier League games this season, missing one through injury and another due to suspension.

He scored his first Spurs goal to open the scoring in Sunday's 4-1 win over Newcastle.

Udogie earned his first senior Italy cap in October's European Championship qualifier against Malta and is expected to be part of the holders' squad for next summer's tournament in Germany.

Trying down Udogie to a long-term deal is a major boost for Spurs, who expect him to establish himself as one of the best full-backs in Europe under Postecoglou.
