Gabby Agbonlahor has labelled Tottenham’s Destiny Udoige as the best left-back in the Premier League on the back of the youngster’s impressive start to his Spurs career.
Even though Udogie had won many admirers with his displays for Udinese over the last two years, it was certainly not a given that he would hit the ground running at Tottenham, particularly given that he had to adapt to a new role.
However, the 21-year-old has looked comfortable in the inverted full-back role from day one and seems to be getting better with each game that he plays.
The Italian has been so impressive that Spurs decided to reward him with a contract extension, with the club confirming last week that the youngster had penned a new deal running until 2030.
Is Destiny Udogie the best left-back in the PL?
Udogie has garnered plenty of praise from pundits over the last couple of months, and Agbonlahor has now joined the bandwagon, admitting to being extremely impressed with the Tottenham star’s all-round game.
The former Aston Villa striker told talkSPORT: “He [Udogie] is probably the best left-back in the league. He is good on the ball. He is strong. He is aggressive. He has got everything as a left-back. Unbelievable.”
