Watford winger Ken Sema completes Udinese loan switch

Watford winger Ken Sema has joined Udinese on loan for the season.

The Sweden international only moved to Vicarage Road last summer after the Hornets agreed a deal with Ostersunds FK.

Sema featured fairly regularly for Watford last season, making 22 appearances and scoring his first goal away at Bournemouth.

However, the 25-year-old has now been allowed to leave on loan and will spend the season with Italian club Udinese - who, like Watford, are owned by the Pozzo family.

Sema’s departure is partly down to the arrival of winger Ismaila Sarr, who signed from Rennes for a club record fee of around £30million on transfer deadline day.

That has pushed Sema down the pecking order and he will hope to gain more first-team football at Udinese.

He may not be the last Watford player to leave this summer, with strikers Isaac Success and Stefano Okaka also attracting interest from clubs in Italy.
