Micky Hazard says Spurs youngster will ‘be the best’ they’ll ever have in his position

Tottenham Hotspur legend Micky Hazard has claimed that Destiny Udogie will become “the best left-back we’ve ever had” at Spurs.

The Lilywhites icon praised the “superb” 20-year-old in wake of Tottenham going top of the Premier League table on Saturday.

Spurs ran out 1-0 winners away at Luton to go to the summit, with six points and two draws from their eight games so far.

Micky van de Ven opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with his first goal for Tottenham since his summer move.

The Dutchman poked home after fellow summer signing James Maddison cut the ball back from a short corner.

Meanwhile, Udogie delivered another solid display, distributing the ball well, passing positively and impressing defensively too.

Hazard loved what he saw from the Italian and, replying to a fan on X, backed him to become a star for Spurs.

He is going to be the best left back we’ve ever had he’s superb x

When Tottenham signed Udogie, several footballing figures including Fabrizio Romano were tipping him for stardom.

As per the terms of the deal, he stayed put at Udinese last season, but now, we’re finally seeing how good he is.

Hopefully Hazard is right and Udogie can go on to become a superstar for Tottenham. Obviously it’s early days but who knows?

He coped well against Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka in recent weeks, so clearly he has what it takes. And he’s only at the start of his career so the ceiling is certainly high.

Mike Dean says one Tottenham player was ’embarrassing’ v Luton

Tottenham Hotspur went top of the Premier League table today thanks to a 1-0 win away at Luton.

However, there was one incident in the first half that made things more difficult for Spurs.

Yves Bissouma was sent off in first-half injury time for picking up two needless yellow cards.

A clumsy challenge brought about his first booking, which was his fifth in eight games.

Then, a clear dive left the referee with no choice but to show Bissouma a second yellow.

Retired referee Mike Dean, speaking on Sky Sports Soccer Special, criticised the Spurs midfielder.

“Embarrassing from Bissouma,” he said, as transcribed on the Sky Sports website. “He tried to con the referee.”

Meanwhile, pundit Clinton Morrison focused on referee John Brooks, saying: “Huge credit to the referee, he got it spot on.”

How long is will Bissouma be suspended for?
As football.london explains, Bissouma is initially suspended for the Fulham game as punishment for the red card he was shown.

When he returns – likely against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on October 27 – his tally will revert back to four yellows.

This means Bissouma will be one booking away from missing another match.

Our view
Bissouma has come a very long way this season, becoming a first-team regular for Ange Postecoglou.

He had a difficult maiden season, with Antonio Conte seldom picking him, but now he’s playing like he was at Brighton.

However, based on what we’ve seen so far this season – in particular on Saturday – Bissouma needs to work on the disciplinary side of his game.
