Tottenham Hotspur have rejected multiple offers for a defender who made 20 Premier League appearances for the club last season.
At least six or seven first-team players are expected to leave Tottenham this summer, as the club undertakes a massive rebuild following two successive 17th-place finishes.
This could include young talents like Lucas Bergvall, who has put in a transfer request to Spurs, as well as Luka Vuskovic, who is thought to be keen on joining Brighton.
Tottenham could raise more than £200m in player sales this summer if all of the expected exits materialise, but it has now come to light that the Lilywhites have no intention of listening to offers for one of their defenders.
Tottenham have rejected multiple offers for Destiny Udogie
Alfredo Pedulla has now revealed on his website that Spurs have received some ‘expressions of interest’ in Destiny Udogie, but have knocked it back.
He claims that Tottenham’s plan is to keep the Italy international at the club next season despite the growing interest in his services.
Pedulla also took to X to make it state that ‘top bids’ have been turned down by the Lilywhites for the left-back, but he did not reveal who made those offers.
Reports from Italy have indicated over recent weeks that Udogie is on the radars of Juventus and Fiorentina. TransferMarkt say Udogie is currently worth around £25.8m.
De Zerbi has been hugely impressed by Udogie
This report comes a week after TEAMtalk reported that Tottenham will not entertain offers from the Bianconeri and Viola for the former Udinese player.
In fact, the update claims De Zerbi has been hugely impressed by Udogie since arriving in North London and considers the 23-year-old as an important part of his plans moving forward.
It is said that De Zerbi has informed the Lilywhites hierarchy that he is ‘extremely happy’ with Udogie and that he wants the full-back to be a ‘key component’ of his long-term project.
