By the time the last edition of the Mundial kicked off four years ago in Russia, Udogie was still a starry-eyed 15-year-old slugging it out in the Hellas Verona youth academy, unsure of what the future held for him.

Udogie has been a part of the Italian youth system from the under-16 to the under-21, giving the European nation a significant advantage over his allegiance.
But the versatile young defender remains eligible to represent three-time African champions, Nigeria, through his parents.
Super Eagles interim technical adviser Augustine Eguavoen has excellent left-back options in Paderborn’s Jamilu Collins, Porto’s Zaidu Sanusi, and Rangers’ Calvin Bassey. Still, Udogie could gate-crash the party if he maintains his upward trajectory.

He has not shown any interest in representing the West African nation, but he has hinted that he would jump at the opportunity to take part in Qatar 2022.
According to Tutto Udinese, Udogie said; “Going to the World Cup is the greatest dream because it is played for the whole country. For me, it would be a great satisfaction.”
Udogie is the rave of the moment in the Italian top-flight, with some of the country’s biggest clubs keeping a tab on him, including Juventus and Atalanta.

“My father always tells me to stay calm, to enjoy the moment, to play carefree and not to freak out because I’m still young,” the on-loan Hellas Verona lad said.
“I try to follow these tips. I try to enjoy Serie A and the moment because I’m still young.
“Now, as a wing-back, I feel good because it is a role in which I can express myself. I think I would feel better as a full-back than a half-winger.”
As per Transfermarkt, Udogie has a loan deal with Udinese until the end of the season, with the Little Zebras retaining the rights to make his deal permanent. He is currently valued at €9 million.JAMB Result
