Tottenham could be set to part ways with Destiny Udogie this summer.

The Italy international has had a mixed spell in North London, with a frustrating injury derailing what had been a positive start with the Lilywhites.

As a result, Thomas Frank may already have grand designs for the left-back position, which don’t include the 22-year-old.

This could see an alternative option come in at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a £35million outlay potentially on the cards.

Tottenham to spend £35m on Udogie replacement

There is excitement building around N17 as the transfer window begins to take shape with the potential signings of Mohammed Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White.

With that being said, defensive reinforcements could prove to be a wise move for Daniel Levy and Co., after what was a difficult season last time around.

This could spell the end for Udogie, who may ultimately be replaced this summer if a deal can be agreed for a replacement.

Fulham star Antonee Robinson could prove to be that man after recent links to Spurs, after several excellent seasons at Craven Cottage.

Former Brentford and Leicester City boss Martin Allen believes he could represent an alternative for the Italian, who Frank may be keen to replace.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Allen said: “He is a really good player, he’s got a great attitude and has good qualities across the pitch.

“I like him, I think he’d be worth £35m without a shadow of a doubt. He is that good, he really is.

“With Udogie, he’s good going forward, but he does make critical errors in the final third, and sometimes you can’t believe what he’s done.

“I just feel as though he’s come up short, so if I were frank, he’d be one I’d be keen to replace.“

Robinson could sign for £35m at Tottenham

It is clear that Spurs are being proactive and progressive in the summer window to help build a squad ready for the Champions League.

With that being said, bringing in Robinson from Fulham could prove to be an excellent piece of business given his level of quality and experience.

It would prove to be a bold move to replace Udogie, but it is fair to say that the American international would be an excellent option for Frank.

It would be interesting to see how much Marco Silva’s side could demand for the 27-year-old if the Lilywhites are to make an approach.
