Tottenham are reportedly considering selling Destiny Udogie in the coming year, as the full-back continues to struggle with fitness issues.

Destiny Udogie continues to struggle with fitness issues this season, having missed the majority of Tottenham Hotspur’s summer pre-season camp due to injury concerns.

This campaign, the Italian has managed only two Premier League starts and is yet to complete a full 90 minutes. His absence has forced Spurs to rely heavily on veteran full-back Andy Robertson, who joined on a free transfer and has already started five matches.

Udogie remains sidelined with a knee injury and missed the 2-0 win over Chelsea. Roberto De Zerbi said of the full-back’s condition: “Destiny still feels pain. Maybe next week he can be available.”

Tottenham could consider selling Destiny Udogie

Udogie’s recurring fitness problems continue to hinder his involvement for Tottenham. Since joining in 2023, he has not managed a season with more than 36 appearances, missing a staggering 324 days through injury.

That frustration has led to claims from Football Insider that Spurs may be open to cashing in on the full-back. It is reported that while Tottenham are open to keeping Udogie, they would also consider letting him go next year for the right price.

Pete O’Rourke explained: “It would take a huge offer, I think, to tempt Spurs to cash in on Udogie. He is a key player when he is fit and firing. I think he probably would be the first-choice left-back if he was fit and available for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.

“Obviously he has competition now with Andy Robertson also at the club as well. The big problem for Udogie has been that he just picks up a few injuries, and that holds him back whenever he is having a good run in the side.”

Spurs could demand a significant fee for Udogie

Tottenham signed Udogie for an initial £15 million (€18–20 million), with the fee rising to £20–21 million including performance-related add-ons.

That remains excellent value, as Udogie is regarded as one of the best full-backs in the league when fit. If Spurs were to part ways with him now, they would expect to make a profit.

Currently, his Transfermarkt valuation stands at €25 million (£21.7 million). However, given his potential, Spurs would likely demand close to double that figure. In the summer, it was reported that Udogie could cost upwards of £43 million.

During the summer transfer window, Udogie attracted plenty of interest, with Italian sides including Juventus and Fiorentina among those keen on signing the Spurs defender.
