After we first heard rumours of Tottenham’s interest in a French full-back last week, another source has now confirmed that the Lilywhites are indeed very keen on the player and will not have an issue meeting his valuation.
Last week, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Man City are plotting a shock move for Destiny Udogie this summer, with the news catching some Spurs fans by surprise, given the Italian’s struggles this season.
It looks like Tottenham Hotspur are not wasting any time formulating contingency plans in case they end up losing the 22-year-old.
Just a few days ago, one outlet claimed that Spurs have identified Theo Hernandez as a potential replacement for Udogie, and now a new source has also backed up the North London club’s interest in the AC Milan man.
Tottenham can sign Theo Hernandez at a discount
Fichajes have now also credited Tottenham Hotspur with an interest in Hernandez, but the outlet makes it clear that the Lilywhites will not have a free run at the player.
Interestingly, the 27-year-old is also thought to feature on the wishlist of Manchester City and Chelsea, with a three-way battle expected for his services this summer.
The publication adds that the France international is expected to be available for around £30m, which is not expected to be an issue for any of the three Premier League sides this summer.

Why Spurs may not view Hernandez as a Udogie replacement
Very interestingly, unlike the first report that emerged on this matter last week, this latest update from Fichajes does not mention that Tottenham see Hernandez as a replacement for Udogie.
That might suggest that Spurs plan on making a move for the Milan man even if they keep the Italian, which would make sense, given that Ben Davies’ contract runs out in June.
