Destini Destini’s defender Open openly stated that he has a big dream – to speak for the Italian national team at the World Cup. In a deep interview with Vivoazzurrotv, quoted TMW, he admitted that the pass of the European Championship last year was a real blow to him.

Udoji told how he started in the small town of Nogary, where the scouts were amazed at his physical data. Despite his young age – he was born in 2002 – he was noticed among his senior comrades.

Having played only six matches for Hellas Verona (youth warehouse), Udoja went to Udinez, and then – to Tottenham for 20 million euros. After winning the Europa League with Sporas in the 2024–25 season, he won his first big trophy.

Due to the injury, he could not go with Italy to the euro – “had surgery on the leg. I believe that everything happens for some reason,” Udoji said.

He said about the World Cup: “It would be more than a dream. Now it’s a goal. I really want to survive it!”
