Former England striker Alan Shearer curated the Team of the Week, and the roster was shared through the Premier League X platform (previously known as Twitter).
Udogie delivered an exceptional performance for Tottenham Hotspur, contributing to their impressive 2-0 victory over Bournemouth.
The 20-year-old, playing as a left-back, stood out with a notable assist that led to Spurs’ second goal, scored by Dejan Kulusevski.
This match against Bournemouth marked Udogie’s third appearance for Tottenham Hotspur, a team currently holding the third position in the league standings.
