Even though Destiny Udogie is a fantastic player when he is fully healthy, he is so rarely available for Tottenham Hotspur that it is becoming a huge point of frustration and a problem with the overall chemistry of the squad that the Italian international just cannot get on the pitch for his club.
This season, Udogie has only started in a couple of Premier League games this season, and while there is a clear difference in quality between himself and Andy Robertson, the fact that Robbo has to play so often when Spurs could have a more readily available left back over Udogie to spell a clearly declined Robertson is playing into Spurs losing more games than they should.
Tottenham fans are wondering if now is the time to cash in on Udogie and find a way to sell him, perhaps as early as the winter transfer window, so they can sign a left back who is just as good and can play more games, such as summer target Neco Williams. Spurs selling Djed Spence turned out to hurt them more at left back than right back, given Archie Gray has been a better backup to Pedro Porro than Robertson has been to Udogie.
Juventus makes sense for Udogie
If Tottenham Hotspur want to sell Destiny Udogie and go for a left back who can actually give them 30 Premier League starts per season, which is a number Udogie has never hit in his young Spurs career, then now may be the time to do it.
Because according to reports out of Italy, via Gary Ward, Juventus are interested in the Italian left back. Juve signing Spurs players is nothing new, of course. Just this past summer, they took two less talented players off Spurs hands in Pape Matar Sarr and Guglielmo Vicario on loan. And the relationship is two ways, of course, as Spurs signed Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from the Bianconeri in the past.
Udogie is a strong player who would be an immediate starter and upgrade for Juve at left back. A healthy Udogie would actually be one of their five best players, and he dominated Serie A with Udinese before coming to Tottenham.
There is nothing wrong with Udogie as a footballer. His intelligence tactically and athletic ability make him a great fit for either the Italian or English top flight. But Tottenham just cannot move forward with their project if a key starter can't even play half the games in a season. Juventus is a perfect chance for Spurs to sell Udogie for a good fee and sign someone who can give them more.
