Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie has been linked with a summer move away from the North London club.
Premier League champions Manchester City are keen on signing Destiny Udogie, but a report from Football Insider has claimed that Tottenham are now confident of keeping him at the club. The 22-year-old has been a key player for them, and despite his mixed form this season, he remains an important prospect for the club.
Tottenham are optimistic about keeping him at the club beyond this summer, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. They need to keep their best players at the club if they want to put together a formidable squad capable of fighting for trophies.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they are 15th in the league table. A club of their stature is expected to secure Champions League qualification and fight for domestic trophies. The Italian defender could help them in the coming seasons. He is still only 22, and he could improve further with coaching and experience.
Manchester City need a quality left-back
Meanwhile, it is no surprise that Manchester City want to sign the player. They are lacking a specialist left-back right now, and the Italian would be a long-term investment for them. The Tottenham wide man is quite young, and he will only improve in future. He could develop into a key player for the club.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester City decide to test Tottenham’s resolve with an official offer in the summer. The Premier League champions have the resources to pay a premium for the young defender. They will be hoping to convince the Italian to join the club in the summer.
It remains to be seen whether the defender is tempted to join the Premier League champions. Manchester City could provide him with the platform to compete in the Champions League and fight for Premier League titles. However, he has a long-term contract with the London club, and Manchester City will have to pay an absurd amount of money in order to convince Tottenham to sell the defender.
