Ignacio Pussetto: Watford winger returns to Udinese on loan

Watford winger Ignacio Pussetto has rejoined former club Udinese on a season-long loan deal.

The Hornets paid the Italian Serie A side a fee of £7m for Pussetto in January, with the 24-year-old signing a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The Argentine featured nine times during his stint at Vicarage Road.

Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo is the father of Watford owner Gino, and Pussetto is the latest player involved in a transfer between the two clubs.

Watford sold midfielder Robert Pereyra to Udinese last month, while Chile defender Francisco Sierralta, Nigeria defender William Troost-Ekong and Croatian striker Stipe Perica have all recently moved to the Championship club.
