Destiny Udogie is a 19-year-old Italian under-21 international.
He plays his football on the left-hand side of the pitch and is athletic enough to cover the whole channel.
Udogie came through the ranks at Hellas Verona and made his professional debut just before his eighteenth birthday.
Already amassed over 40 appearances in Serie A, Udogie has gained valuable match experience at the highest level.
This summer, Tottenham Hotspur signed the fullback for a reported £16 million from Udinese Calcio.
The deal involved Udogie staying in Italy for this season to continue his development.
So far, the 19-year-old left fullback has featured in all of Udineses matches as they currently sit in a UEFA Champions League qualification place.
Having just been shortlisted for the Golden Boy award, there is no doubt that Spurs boss Antonio Conte will be keeping close tabs on how the young Italian develops ahead of his return following the end of the 2022/23 season.
This scout report will provide an analysis of how Udogie is one of the best up-and-coming fullbacks in Europe.
It will be a tactical analysis of the 19-year-old and the manager Andrea Sottils tactics to get the best out of him.

Destiny Udogie is comfortable with all the responsibilities it brings, both defensively and offensively.
He spends the majority of his time in very advanced attacking positions where he looks to receive the ball.
The 19-year-old is accustomed to playing as a wingback in a variation of a back five formation.
Udineses formation is similar to the one deployed by Antonio Conte at Tottenham Hotspur.
Both look to utilise a back five, so Udogie will have a good understanding of his role in terms of positioning and what to expect.
One difference is that Udinese plays with a front two rather than the front three that Spurs use, so some development in terms of link-up play and off-the-ball movement will most likely occur once he is integrated into Contes side.
As his heatmap shows, the former Hellas Verona player excels at maintaining width and maximising the pitchs size.
Udogie often finds himself receiving the ball almost on the touchline.
