According to the 19-year-old, he has a strong affinity for Italian football and would relish the opportunity to play for the Azzurris.

Udogie, who was born in Italy but is of Nigerian origin, is currently on loan from Hellas Verona.

I was born in Italy, so I feel more Italian. I grew up playing with the young players in Italy, so I want to continue with them.
