Tottenham have completed the £15m signing of defender Destiny Udogie from Serie A club Udinese.
Udogie, 19, has agreed a five-year contract, while the fee could rise by a further £3m with add-ons.
The Italy Under-21 international, who only joined Udinese permanently this summer, will be loaned back to them for the rest of the campaign.
A left-back, he scored five goals and made four assists in 35 league appearances for Udinese last season.
