Udinese defender Destiny Udogie has agreed in principle to join Tottenham for £21million including add-ons this summer.
Udogie, who has been tipped for a call-up to the full Italy squad having already played for the U21s, is regarded as a long-term investment for Spurs.
Therefore, the Premier League giants have decided to send the 19-year-old starlet back to Italy on loan for the 2022-23 season.
Tottenham's move for Udogie is bad news for Sergio Reguilon - who has been told by the club he can leave this summer.
