If there was one man who was always going to leave Watford after they were relegated back to the Championship, it was Gerard Deulofeu.
The Spaniard, who missed the end of the season due to injury, was by far one of the best players in the Hornets’ squad, and there was a belief he could leave despite his current fitness issues.
Leave he did, with the Pozzo family organising a move between Watford and Udinese for the winger, who will try and help the Serie A club turn their poor start of three losses in three games around.
When fit, he’ll strive to give his all to achieve that, as he told Udinese TV all about his intentions following the move.
Already spending time in Serie A, the forward also said he ‘strongly wanted to return’ to the league where he enjoyed himself so much during his loan spell in Milan.
This time around, things will likely be a bit more different, but he’ll have the advantage of already knowing Roberto Pereyra, who also made the switch from Watford to Udinese in the transfer window.
A plus that should help hit the ground running, with Hornets’ fans keeping an eye on things as his loan doesn’t currently have an option to buy.
