(Sports Illustrated) Destiny Udogie, who recently scored his Tottenham Hotspur debut goal and signed a new contract, praised club captain Son Heung-min as a player on a different level.
"Destiny Udogie admitted that she loves playing with Tottenham captain Son Heung-min, who is 'on another level,'" British media outlet 'TBR Football' reported on March 13 (KST).
Udogie is a promising Italian full-back who joined Tottenham from Udinese last summer in a €18 million deal, but after returning to Udinese on loan last season, he joined the club full-time this summer.
Despite this being his debut season at Tottenham, Udogie has earned the trust of head coach Anzhi Postecoglou to become the first-choice left-back. He has started all 14 league games he has played in this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists, and has been a stalwart on the left flank.-
He recently scored his first goal for Tottenham. Udogie opened the scoring in the 26th minute of the 16th round of the 2023/24 Premier League season against Newcastle United in the first leg of a 4-1 victory.
Not long after his debut goal, Udogie celebrated by signing a new contract. Tottenham announced on the club's website on Wednesday that they have extended his contract until June 2030.
When Udogie first signed his contract a year ago, he was signed through 2027, but he has now extended it to 2030. Udogie earned a weekly wage of £60,000 (approximately $9.91 million) when he first signed, but has been rewarded for his performances this season with a higher weekly wage.
Udogie, who has become a favorite of Tottenham fans with his debut goal and new contract, recently caught the attention of fans again when he spoke highly of Son Heung-min.
According to Spurs Play, Udogie recalled the moment he scored his debut goal for Tottenham against Newcastle. He praised Son Heung-min and admitted that playing alongside Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski is very easy. 카지노사이트
"I think it's really simple to play with Sonny and Kulusevski," Udogie said, "because obviously Sonny is a top player and it's very easy to play with him."
"I try to find out where Sonny is because I think I'll get the ball and he'll do the rest," he said, adding, "He gave me an assist."
During the interview, Udogie was asked by the host if he thought he would be able to compete with Son for the Premier League goalscoring title now that he had scored his debut goal for Tottenham.
To the host's playful question, Udogie laughed and said, "No, I think Sonny is on another level.
But we'll see," he replied. As Udogie said, Son has been one of the best performers for Tottenham this season and has entered the race for the Premier League's top scorer. 먹튀검증 안전놀이터 백링크
With a goal and two assists against Newcastle, Son's 10th goal of the season kept him in third place on the Premier League scoring list.
The top spot is currently held by Elling Holland (14 goals-Manchester City), with Mohamed Salah (11 goals-Liverpool) in second place.

The top spot is currently held by Elling Holland (14 goals-Manchester City), with Mohamed Salah (11 goals-Liverpool) in second place.
Notably, Son Heung-min scored his 10th league goal, marking his eighth consecutive double-digit Premier League season. In the 31-year history of the Premier League, which began in 1992, only seven players have scored 10 or more league goals in eight consecutive seasons.
Son's brilliance also helped Tottenham, who had gone five games without a win (and one draw), turn their fortunes around by beating Newcastle to claim their third point in six games.
