The numbers support his remarkable performance this season as one of Spurs’ greatest players.
According to fbref, Udogie is among the top 12 percent of positional peers in the Premier League this season for the amount of progressive passes (5.32/90), which is an important aspect of Postecoglou’s offensive playmaking approach.
In terms of defensive efficiency, Udogie is in the 91st percentile of left-backs in England’s top division this season with 3.07 tackles made out of 90, demonstrating his versatility both up front and at the back.
Ben Davies found it difficult to step in for the Italy international against Wolves and was unable to have the same impact. The Welshman had a forgettable day going forward, even though he was strong defensively.
The 31-year-old won five of his eight ground duels and recorded two tackles, one interception, and one clearing, according to Sofascore. At the other end of the field, though, he was unable to match those stats.
Despite making three crucial passes out of the 89% of passes he attempted, he was unable to produce a single accurate cross into the box out of the six that he attempted.

Ben Davies’ Tottenham match against Wolves was an afternoon to forget.
Furthermore, he failed on two of his three dribble attempts and squandered a great opportunity late on when he headed Spurs’ chance to salvage a point agonizingly wide of the post from close range.
Those in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hoping that the left-back’s name is read out among the other staters an hour before kickoff. Postecoglou will be grateful to have Udogie back in his plans.
