Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie has admitted that this season has been a tough one for him personally and has provided an interesting response to the speculation linking him with a move to Man City.
Udogie has not had the best of seasons, with his campaign being interrupted by injuries, but the left-back has come into form just at the right time as Tottenham set their sights on Europa League glory.
Over recent weeks, reports have indicated that Destiny Udogie has emerged as a target for Man City ahead of the summer.
However, various outlets over the last few days have claimed that Tottenham have no intention of letting Udogie go this summer, with the Lilywhites instead thought to want to add further reinforcements at left-back.
Destiny Udogie responds to Tottenham future rumours
Destiny Udogie has now been directly asked about the transfer rumours, but he refused to comment on the speculation, insisting that he remains fully focused on finishing the season strongly.
The Tottenham Hotspur left-back also admitted that this season has not been the easiest one for him, given his own fitness and form issues.
When asked if it is a nice feeling to be linked with a move to Pep Guardiola’s side, Udogie said (via Hayters TV): “No, I think personally it’s been a tough season, with injuries, and everything, including my form, but at the same time, I’m trying to finish the season strong, I’m trying to help my team, that’s it.”
