TuttoMercatoWeb have labelled Destiny Udogie as ‘too soft’ on the back of the left wing-back’s latest performance against Monza.
Tottenham’s signing of Udogie last summer appears to be a masterstroke, with the 20-year-old building on his impressive debut season and hitting new heights so far in 2022-23.
The on-loan Spurs star, who picked up Udinese’s Player of the Month award for February (Football.London), has not only proven to be dangerous in the final third but has also been extremely tidy at the back this season.
However, Udogie did not have the best outing against Monza, who clinched a 2-2 draw at Stadio Friuli this Saturday, with TuttoMercatoWeb suggesting that the youngster needs to be stronger in challenges.
TMW gave the left wing-back a rating of 5.5/10 and wrote about his display: “Something more is always expected from him.
“It can’t be said that he hurts, but sometimes he is too soft in duels and lacks lucidity in the last thirty meters.”
However, it does not appear as if Tottenham are too concerned about this criticism, with 90 min reporting on Tuesday that the Lilywhites have been extremely impressed with Udogie’s progress so far in this campaign.
Spurs Web Opinion
Even though Udogie has played two full seasons of top-level football, it is important to remember that he is only 20 years of age.
Spurs will be patient with the youngster and I would not be surprised if they look to loan him out to a Premier League club for next season so that he can continue getting regular game time under his belt.
