Tottenham Hotspur cult hero Gary Lineker has hailed defender Destiny Udogie for his fine start to the Premier League season.
Spurs are now unbeaten in three Premier League games and are on a two-match winning run, with the London side’s players starting to make a name for themselves in the first team.
Udogie, who was born in Italy to Nigerian parents, is one of those. After spending last season with Udinese, he is now a regular in the Tottenham starting XI.
The 20-year-old has started each of Spurs’ Premier League games so far, impressing on the left side of defence.
On Saturday, Spurs ran out 2-0 winners at Bournemouth, thanks to goals from James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Against the Cherries, Udogie provided the assist for Kulusevski and overall looked really good both offensively and defensively.
His performances have caught the attention of England legend Lineker, who took to X during the game to praise the Nigerian-eligible left-back.
“Udogie’s destiny looks very positive,” Lineker wrote on X.
