Masterstroke from Tottenham to sign left-back
The deal to sign Udogie for £15 million definitely has the potential to be one of the finest Spurs have done in recent years.
Of course, other players will affect their season more significantly. One of the top goal scorers in the Premier League so far is Son Heung-min. James Maddison, however, has provided the most assists in the top division.
