Redknapp has spotted a weakness in Udogie’s game

Spea♛king on at halftime, Redknapp raised concerns over Udඣogie’s positioning following Forest’s leveller.

The former Tottenham midfielder believes the 💫Italian is often caught ball-watching.

“I did a game a few weeks ago, the Fulham game, and he gets caught,” Redknapp said. “He does this a lot. He ball-watches, Destiny Udog🅠ie.”

While Udogie has enjoyed an exce🌳ptional debut campaign at Spurs,ꦑ there are bound to be areas where he can improve.

At 21, he’s adjusted to Premier League 𓂃football with ease and continues🐎 to impress down the left-hand side.

Tottenham recover to beat Forest

We’ve seen Tottenham turn on the style at the start of the second half on plen🐼t𓃲y of occasions already this season.

Today proved to be no different as Micky van de Ven produced a stunning striꦰꦓke to restore Spurs’ lead in the 52nd minute.

Pedro Porro then popped up with a well-taken goal after James Maddison linked up with Werner down the left-hand side. 

Postecoglou will undoubtedly be keen to address Spurs’ lacklustre first-half displays🔥, particularity aheadౠ of a difficult run of fixtures.

But after today’s 3-1 win, Tottenham have moved above Aston Villa into fourth place, with a game in hand over Unai Emery’s🉐 men.
