Football Manager perfectly trolls ‘Tom Huddlestone to join Udinese’ reports

Wil Jones

Possibly the most Football Manager transfer ever to happen in real life

Sky Sports are reporting that Derby County midfielder Tom Huddlestone is currently in talks to join Serie A side Udinese.

Huddlestone has made 19 appearances for the Rams so far this season.

The 32-year-old started his career at Derby, and resigned for the club in 2017.

He left Derby for Tottenham Hotspur in 2005 for £2.5 million, and made 144 appearances for the North Londoners.

After a loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers, before moving to Hull City for a fee believed to be about £5.25 million in 2012, and played in a FA Cup final for the Tigers.

It would be a very unexpected move for Huddlestone – almost like something you’d do in Football Manager. So much so that even the official Football Manager account got in on the action.
