Tottenham‘s Destiny Udogie has previously been linked with a return to Italy and suggestions about that have returned to the mix again.

In the summer, AS Roma were interested in signing the left-back. Sport Witness tracked that there was quiet optimism that a deal can actually go through, as the London club had signed Andy Robertson for free.

Towards the end of the summer window, Udogie rejected the move and this brought negotiations to a halt.

The Tottenham player’s stance on an exit could now be changing, as interest from Italy is growing.

Left-back seen as an accessible target

Two outlets in Italy highlight Juventus’ interest in Udogie. Tuttomercatoweb believe that their dream target for the left-back spot is Alejandro Balde but the task is likely to be complex due to the price tag.

Atalanta’s Lorenzo Bernasconi is also a target, however, the Tottenham player is seen as the most accessible option.

This is because Udogie is ‘demanding playing time’ under Roberto De Zerbi and isn’t happy with being a back-up to Robertson. While La Dea’s valuation of their full-back stands at €25m, it’s hopedSpurs could part ways for a lower amount.

Corriere dello Sport go down the same route, noting that Udogie has been ‘rejected’ by the Tottenham manager.

Juventus are monitoring the situation and have an excellent relationship with the London club. This can come in handy in January, when the Old Lady would look to attempt a loan move.

Our take: Next few weeks key

Tottenham aren’t playing in Europe this season and this has reduced Udogie’s game time. He is clearly a back up – for now, which comes as a disappointment for someone who will also want to be a regular for Italy.

Clearly, the current state of affairs isn’t helping the 23-year-old. He needs to play more or his career can hit a roadblock, if it hasn’t already.

Juventus would end up being a good option too, as they want a regular in that position. Returning to Italy will also give him more opportunities with the Azzurri.

The next few weeks can decide a lot. Depending on how things go, Udogie can end up playing more often than he is right now.
