Although he will return to Udinese on loan until the end of the season, the 19-year-old is expected to become Spurs' seventh signing of a busy summer transfer window.

According to 90min, Tottenham resisted late interest from Brighton, who wanted to sign him on a loan deal after failing to reach an agreement on a permanent one.

Spurs won the contract because they agreed to lend him back to Udinese for the upcoming season, and they will likely shell out about €25 million to the Serie A team overall.

On Monday night, the technical director of the Bianconeri, Pierpaolo Marino, disclosed that negotiations for Udogie were ongoing. He said: "Talking about it when there is nothing official yet is very complicated."

Although Udinese has received a significant offer, they only sell their players when the price is right and typically keep them for two years. We'll make an effort not to reject these constraints.

According to 90min, Udogie will have a medical on Tuesday while Spurs and Udinese negotiate the specifics of the deal.

Udogie has been touted for a call-up to Roberto Mancini’s Italy squad in the near future. He ended the 2021/22 season with five goals in 35 Serie A games.
