Has transformed our left side this season at such a young age, huge huge credit to him.

New league
New country
New language
New teammates
New Manager
New style of play
New position

Has taken it all in his stride.

Such an exciting talent.
I completely agree, apart from the language bit.
If I remember correctly, English is actually his first language due to his parentage.

Fair, didn't know that, still a new culture and country at such a young age is a big challenge which he has handled really well.

I think his parents are Nigerian and English is the language they speak at home, so it's what he grew up with.

But yeah, he's taken to the league like a duck to water and it's incredibly impressive for such a young lad.
Just imagine what he'll be like at 25, if he continues at this rate?!

Could be the next Marcelo in world football, genuinely don't know many LB's who have this much ability and quality at this age in world football right now, Paratici has stolen us another gem, he should've been picked up by a Real Madrid etc he's that good.

Yeah, the new recruitment team have a lot to live up to in following Fab so let's hope they can carry on what he's started.
Or that as rumoured, he's still lurking in the background because he's picked up some absolute gems for us.

£15m is such a bargain, the boy is class. I can see him going to Madrid or City in 4 years for silly money. I hope he stays with us though.
Madrid won't be able to afford him and hopefully City won't exist, or at least will still be trying to regain league status (I know, but I'm allowed to dream!).

Fantastic news. He's already one of the best left backs in Europe and he's only going to get better.

New contract, new song...

To the tune of Lionel Richie's 'My Destiny"

"Udogie Destiny, you are my one and only,
You gave that joy to me, when my whole world was lonely,
Udogie Destiny!"

Repeat...
