Udogie’s profile is an exact fit for what Conte looks for in his wing-backs, with the teenager quite proficient in one vs one situations, both defensively and offensively. While the Italy Under-21 international is still raw, Conte will believe that the youngster can develop into a world-class wing-back with the right coaching.
