Italy U21 international of Nigerian descent, Destiny Udogie will make his full Premier League debut against Brentford\u00a0at the\u00a0Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Super Eagles-eligible left-back has been picked in the starting lineup\u00a0by Tottenham Hotspur boss\u00a0Ange Postecoglou.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the 2023-2024 season, Tottenham have revealed that\u00a0Udogie will play with the number 38 on the back of his jersey.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was assigned a provisional squad number of 73 for the pre-season friendlies against West Ham United, Lion City Sailors and\u00a0Shakhtar Donetsk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Udogie is the second player with a Nigerian background to wear Tottenham’s number 38 shirt\u00a0since the start of the third millennium, following in the footsteps of academy product Jonathan Obika.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Italian-Nigerian defender inherits the number from\u00a0Yves Bissouma, who was allocated the number last season and has switched to number 8 for the 2023-2024 campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Previous holders of the number 38 jersey include\u00a0Cameron Carter-Vickers, Ryan Mason, David Bentley, Troy Archibald-Henville and Charlie Lee.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Udogie wore the number 13 at Udinese and Hellas Verona, and for Italy at the 2023 European U21 Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
