The agent of Destiny Udogie has lifted the lid on Udinese's sale to Tottenham.

Inter Milan and Juventus were both keen on the Italian left-back after he impressed at Udinese last season.

However, Spurs swooped after Antonio Conte made a personal recommendation to sign Udogie, 19, and completed a deal worth an initial £15million, which could reach £20m with add-ons.

The player's agent, Ferdinando Guarino, has described the offer from Tottenham as too good to turn down.

“Several teams have taken an interest in Udogie, including from Italy," he told Spazio Inter

“We had some talks with Inter and Juve, for example, but then when Tottenham's opportunity arose it was difficult not to seize it quickly.".
