Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham Hotspur’s winger, has pointed out Destiny Udogie, a defender, as the fleetest player on the team.
While on The Diary Room, Kulusevski commented extensively about his fellow Tottenham players.
The pre-season tour for Tottenham hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing.
Following an optimistic 3-2 loss to West Ham, the Spurs team journeyed to Bangkok to compete against Leicester City.
Sadly, the game was postponed due to unfavourable weather conditions, meaning Ange Postecoglou lost an opportunity for a friendly match.
With many players at his disposal, not being able to critical evaluate his team in a competitive setting is a significant setback.
London-based team Spurs are getting their first real look at Destiny Udogie.
The talented Italian was bought for £15m the preceding summer before being loaned out to Udinese for the season.
Udogie’s speed has already left an impression on Dejan Kulusevski, who considers him the fastest on the team.
However, the young Swedish player is confident he would provide a good competition in a foot race.
Kulusevski Believes Udogie is the Speediest Player in Tottenham
When queried about which Tottenham player is the quickest over 100m, the 23-year-old pointed out: “I’d guess Destiny [Udogie].
“Over the long run, he has the speed. I think we would both be at the top.”
Udogie has already left a positive mark in his brief tenure on field for Tottenham.
During the game against West Ham, after Sergio Reguilon was struggling, he took over as left-back.
With his team trailing 2-0, Udogie came in and responded by using an Ivan Perisic header to level the score.
Despite not being able to prevent West Ham’s Gianluca Scamacca from taking home the win, he certainly left his mark on the game.
Kulusevski and Udogie are among the swiftest in the squad and that’s something Postecoglou welcomes.
The Australian coach encourages his team’s free-flowing offensive style and having quick players on the sides will definitely be an advantage.
Although Postecoglou has several choices for the left-back position, Udogie’s current performance seems to be moving him closer to a potential first-choice position for the start of the season.
