Tottenham Hotspur are set to reward another one of their players with a new contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Spurs News reported this week that Tottenham Hotspur wonderkid Destiny Udogie was set to be offered a new contract after impressing under Ange Postecoglou this season.

The Italian has cemented himself as a regular in the first-team squad and looks to commit his future to the club – obtaining a nice pay rise in the process.

Now it appears Postecoglou is wasting no time in securing the future of another one of his rising stars.
