Gerard Deulofeu: Watford winger joins Udinese on season-long loan

Watford winger Gerard Deulofeu has agreed to join Udinese on loan for the remainder of the season.

Former Everton player Deulofeu joined Watford from Barcelona in January 2018, initially on loan, before making the move permanent in the summer.

He was also understood to have been in talks with Fiorentina over a move, but a deal fell through.

Deulofeu also follows Argentine forward Ignacio Pussetto to the Serie A club on a similar deal.

Pussetto returns to the club The Hornets paid a fee of £7m for in January, with the 24-year-old signing a four-and-a-half-year contract.
