Pete O’Rourke has now provided an update on Man City’s rumoured interest in Destiny Udogie as reports continue to circulate over a potential shock move by the Champions for the Tottenham full-back.
Destiny Udogie had a stellar first season at Tottenham after arriving from Udinese in the summer of 2023, but he has fallen well short of that standard so far this campaign.
In fact, one can even argue that the Italy international is no longer in Spurs’ strongest eleven, given how well Djed Spence has done at left-back.
It was first revealed by Fabrizio Romano last week that Udogie has emerged as a target for Man City this summer, and this has now been backed up by another reliable source.
Destiny Udogie likely to be tempted by Man City move
Transfer market expert Pete O’Rourke has now told Football Insider that Man City will be in the market for a left-back “without a doubt” this summer.
He points out that Pep Guardiola’s men have lined up with academy midfielder Nico O’Reilly at left-back recently and claims that it is a position that they will want to upgrade to.
The journalist adds that the Tottenham Hotspur man could be tempted by a move to City if the club’s interest materialises this summer.

O’Rourke asserts that a move to the Etihad Stadium ‘is likely to appeal’ to Udogie, particularly if Tottenham misses out on European football.
Tottenham make Udogie transfer decision
This report from O’Rourke comes a few days after we heard what sort of stance Tottenham are expected to take regarding the 22-year-old.
It was claimed by one source that Spurs have no intention of selling Udogie to Man City this summer, with Daniel Levy expected to fight to keep hold of the defender.
The same update explained that Tottenham are of the belief that the left-back’s poor form this season is down to his injuries and a lack of continuity.
