Destiny Udogie is seemingly a fan of Djed Spence, with the Italian praising the Tottenham right-back on social media.
Many would have expected Spence to have left Tottenham by now considering the player was widely backed to seal a permanent move to Genoa earlier in the summer on the back of his impressive loan spell at the Serie A side last season.
However, the 23-year-old’s future is now up in the air after it emerged over recent weeks that the Italian club are not prepared to meet Spurs’ asking price for the defender (Sacha Tavolieri).
La Repubblica (via CalcioGirona) even reported that the Genoa are ready to turn their attention to other alternatives such as Napoli right-back Alessandro Zanoli due to Spurs’ refusal to lower their price.
It has been widely reported that the former Middlesbrough man has no future under Ange Postecolgou at Tottenham, with the North London club now thought to be offering the full-back to other clubs (Nizaar Kinsella).
However, it is clear that Udogie rates Spence highly, with the 21-year-old commenting ‘Baller’ in his teammate’s latest Instagram post.
Spence made 16 appearances for Genoa last season having joined in January on the back of a disappointing stint at Leeds United (transfermarkt).

There are quite a few similarities between Spence’s and Udogie’s game and I believe the right-back has the attributes to succeed in Tottenham’s system.
There must be other reasons of why Spence is not seen as the right fit, which is why Ange decided against including the right-back in his plans last season.
