Destiny Udogie has admitted that he is a big fan of Manchester City star Kyle Walker, referring to the England star as a complete player.
It is fair to say that there are more than just a few similarities between Walker and Udogie, with the Italian, just like the City star, arriving at Tottenham at a young age and hitting the ground running at the club.
Like the 33-year-old, the former Udinese man is quite quick and extremely strong, often shrugging players off the ball with ease.
Udogie has also showcased his technical proficiency since arriving at Tottenham, with the youngster having to receive possession in the middle of the park regularly in the inverted full-back role in Ange Postecoglou’s system.

Spurs fans will be hoping that like Walker, Udogie also does not end up leaving Tottenham to make the jump to a bigger club in the latter stages of his career, but the 21-year-old has made no secret of the fact that he idolises the City star.
On a segment about the best full-backs in Premier League history for Amazon Prime Sport’s TikTok page, the Tottenham star was asked to choose between Walker and Gary Neville and he responded: “I think Walker. He’s so complete, he has everything, I just like him as a player.”
Spurs Web Opinion
While Udogie might not be as quick as Walker (hardly anyone is), he is potentially slightly better on the ball than the City star is. The Italian is still quite young and there is every chance that he will develop into as good a player as the 33-year-old if not even better.
