‘Forza Udinese always’ - Troost-Ekong bids Italian club farewell as Watford move nears

William Troost-Ekong has taken to social media to say his goodbyes to Serie A club Udinese as he nears a move to Championship side Watford.

The 27-year-old Nigerian centre-back has been with the Little Zebras since the 2018-19 season, when he joined from Turkish outfit Bursaspor.

He has been a regular fixture in the Udinese squad since then, racking up 66 appearances in all competitions, all which have seen the club comfortably avoid relegation, finishing 12th and 13th, with 43 and 45 points, in respective seasons.

Troost-Ekong’s time in Udine is, however, coming to an end with an eminent switch to Vicarage Road as reported by Watford Observer, set to be completed soon.
