Spurs star Destiny Udogie makes Europa League admission - 'We all want to win it'

Destiny Udogie claims Ange Postecoglou can't afford to wrap his Spurs players in cotton wool against . Tottenham's entire season is riding on next week's crunch quarter-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany.

But Udogie isn't prepared to overlook Vitor Pereira's side because Spurs are also desperate to get themselves up the table. The Italian left-back said when asked whether Postecoglou should heavily rotate his pack at Molineux: "No, I think every game is important. Now we have a league match coming and we need to be ready for that game.

"Then after that we'll look towards next week's match. Obviously we are not in a good position and every game is important for us to go up a little bit in the table so we really want to win."

Wolves, who moved a step closer to safety last Saturday with a vital victory at Ipswich, have now won three top-flight matches on the spin. And if they reign supreme against Spurs in the Black Country today, they would move within two points of their opponents.

While Postecoglou is undoubtedly fighting for his future, Udogie insists there is still unity within the club because there is one common goal: European glory. He continued: "Everyone at this club wants to win the competition so we are all going in the same direction. We played really well on Thursday, it was a good performance and just the goals were missing.

"We created chances but sometimes you need luck in football and Thursday was an unlucky night. It's been a really tough season with injuries but now almost everyone is available and it feels good."

Spurs are cautiously optimistic Dejan Kulusevski could return to fitness and play a part from the bench against Frankfurt, though it's unlikely he'll be ready to start the do-or-die clash. Postecoglou is also hopeful central defender Kevin Danso - recently sidelined with a hamstring issue - may be able to provide with a much-needed boost at the back but Wolves will come too soon for the duo.

Udogie maintains faith Spurs can progress even if they failed to dispatch the Bundesliga side on home soil after hitting the woodwork on two separate occasions. He continued: "We have 100 per cent confidence we can go through.

"Obviously we all want to win this competition so every game is important, it's tough and we have to give our best. But we are really confident in our qualities so we're going there next week knowing in ourselves that we are a good team, we just want to win the game."

In the past few days, the 22-year-old full-back has emerged as a potential summer transfer target for . AC Milan are also admirers of the talented Italy international with Theo Hernandez in line to depart San Siro at the end of the season. and they are determined to do everything within their power to keep Udogie in north London.
