With Udinese currently languishing in 16th in Serie A after 15 games and having scored just 12 goals, there are some questions being asked ahead of the January transfer window, with a solution currently doing well at Watford.
That’s Matheus Martins, who is owned by the Italian club and on loan at Vicarage Road and starting to really find his feet in English football.
The news comes from Mondo Udinese, who point out how the Brazilian has four goals for Watford during the first half of the season, with his performances showing he is on the right developmental path.
His numbers for the Hornets are seen as ‘really interesting’, especially for a 20-year-old who ‘wants to prove himself’ in European football.
For Udinese, who have struggled to find the back of the net after selling Beto and replacing him with an ever-injured Keinan Davis, he could be the ‘internal solution’ they have been looking for.
On loan at Watford ‘for the past year’, there is a feeling that should an ‘emergency’ be needed, then there could be a ‘recall’ of the Brazilian forward.
Something to keep an eye on, especially as the Hornets continue their rise back up the Championship table, currently sitting 10th after 20 games with 28 points.
