Spurs Strike Gold: Conte’s Signing Now Worth 266% More
Tottenham Hotspur has undergone significant changes in recent years, with Antonio Conte’s tenure now seeming like a distant memory. While the Italian manager’s time at the club ended without major success, he did leave behind some valuable signings.
One of Conte’s most impressive acquisitions was Destiny Udogie. The young left-back joined Spurs from Udinese in 2022 for around £15 million plus add-ons. After a loan spell back at Udinese, Udogie made his Tottenham debut under Ange Postecoglou.
The 21-year-old Italian quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting young defenders. His performances earned him a nomination for the league’s Young Player of the Season award, making him the first Spurs player to receive this honor.
Udogie has made 53 appearances for Tottenham, scoring two goals and providing four assists. While his form has slightly dipped this season, he remains a highly promising talent.
Football Transfers now values Udogie at up to €66 million (approximately £55 million). This represents a staggering 266% increase from his initial transfer fee just over two years ago.
Despite Conte’s tumultuous exit, his eye for talent has benefited Tottenham. Players like Udogie could form the core of a successful Spurs team in the coming years, proving that sometimes a manager’s legacy extends beyond their time in the dugout.
