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.
Furthermore, Udogie’s journey saw him making his debut for the Italy U21 squad on September 3, 2021. He took on a starting role in the qualifying match, contributing significantly to their 3-0 triumph over Luxembourg.
His foundation in football was laid within the Hellas Verona youth system. Udogie’s Serie A debut took place on November 8, 2020, in a 2-2 draw against Milan.
