Gerard Deulofeu joins Watford's sister club Udinese after Hornets star's move to Fiorentina fell through after La Viola sealed free transfer of Jose Callejon

Gerard Deulofeu has sealed a deadline day move to Watford's sister club Udinese after talks over a deal with Fiorentina fell through.

The Hornets star, 26, had been linked with an exit from Vicarage Road this summer following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Deulofeu was a reported target of Fiorentina, but a deal to join La Viola fell through after the club opted to sign former Real Madrid star Jose Callejon on a free transfer.

Fiorentina had lined Deulofeu up as a possible replacement for Federico Chiesa, who has left the club to join Juventus, but have opted to go in a different direction.
