Absolutely deserves every single penny, love that we see what he is and make no mistake in tying him down. Almost like a proper run club.

Amazing going forward, rapid in recovery. Just needs to stop those weird moments and decisions when under pressure and there's a real player here.

Really enjoying our fullbacks this season.
Both Destiny and Pedro suit this system so we'll and will only get better as they grow.

Nice proactive move. He's come in and smashed it, and is duly rewarded. Imperative to keep the actual quality players happy and wanting to stay and kick on here.

Back to the peak poch days where we were tying down our best young players like Dele, Kane etc to long deals as part of an overall long-term squad plan :)

Genuinely thought that as early as this summer we were going to start getting Man City or Real Madrid transfer links.

He still has a lot to learn (I sometimes get concerned with the space he vacates or doesn't seem aware of when defending and he, naturally, does have a moment of rashness in him), but for barely 21 years old he is some player and has everything in his locker to take over from Walker as the best and most dynamic FB in the PL (i'd say he is already more natural on the ball)

Great news. A little unlike us to do this kind of extension so early. The work of the new footballing director?

Absolutely fantastic news if we have got Udogie signed up for a new contract. He is going to have every big club in Europe looking at him.

To think there was concern about how him and Porro would work in Ange's system and it turns out they've quickly become the best full back pair in the league.

Yeah it’s insane how to wing backs have taken the role.
porro in particular I was very worried last season but fair play to the guy. What a talent

An absolute force on the left hand side. A freight train and uses his athleticism so well with and without the ball. So smooth technically and intelligent in the spaces he picks up in attack. We’re very lucky with this fullback pair we’ve got.

As the pundits said yesterday, when he bursts into the box, nobody seems to know who should be picking him up which causes havoc. It really needs to be a forward tracking him but not many want to get involved in that. Him and Porro are really ratcheting up the performances now they're getting used to how we play.
