Udinese are reportedly hot on the trail of Watford youth team defensive midfielder Imaad Sankoh, who has been compared to N’Golo Kante.

According to calcionews24.com, the Pozzo family - who owns both the Premier League side and the Friulani - are thinking about a change of scenery for the young Englishman.

The 17-year-old is highly rated and has been impressing for the Hornet’s underage teams this season, as the under-18 side reached the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup.

Watford are reportedly preparing a summer offer for Roma and Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Premier League club is interested in bringing Olsen to England.

It’s safe to say the Giallorossi would be ready to sell, because the 29-year-old is unpopular among fans, so much that Claudio Ranieri had to confirm he’d remain first choice rather than drop behind veteran Antonio Mirante.

Roma paid €9m to bring in Olsen from FC Copenhagen as a replacement for Alisson Becker, but he made quite a few howlers.

Juventus have a total reshuffle of their line-up with Moise Kean, Alex Sandro and Federico Bernardeschi upfront, while Udinese give Ben Wilmot his debut.

It kicks off in Turin at 19.30 GMT.

Watford winger and Milan target Gerard Deulofeu has expressed his desire to play for a ‘top club’ one day.

Deulofeu was heavily linked with a return to Milan in January but the Rossoneri were unable to find an agreement with Watford.

Nonetheless, the 24-year-old admits he ‘cannot close the door’ to the possibility of a second spell at San Siro.

“Watford has a certain profile but for now it’s not a top club,” he told Reuters.

Watford winger Gerard Deulofeu has revealed that ‘I won’t close the door’ on re-joining Milan, where he was his ‘happiest’.

Deulofeu spent the second half of the 2016-17 campaign with Milan, scoring four goals in 18 appearances, and the Rossoneri tried to bring back the Spaniard last month.

“There are many Coaches who have left their mark on me, but I was happiest at Milan,” the Barcelona youth product told Mundo Deportivo.

Gerard Deulofeu’s agent admits Milan are the Watford winger’s ‘home’ and that he is destined for ‘a bigger and more important club’.

Milan failed in a late bid to bring back Deulofeu last month but Alberto Botines suggested the Spaniard could return to San Siro in the summer, describing Watford as a stepping stone for his client.

“Gerard was in his best form at Milan, they’re his home,” he told Calciomercato.com.

Stefano Okaka “wants to prove himself” at Udinese, said his brother and agent Carlo, who “cannot exclude a return to Watford.”

The striker has already scored one goal in three Serie A appearances since the January switch.

“Stefano knew the situation that Udinese were in when he arrived and that their current position does not reflect their capabilities,” Carlo Okaka told RMC Sport.

New Udinese signing Ben Wilmot is ready to “take this opportunity” in Serie A and takes inspiration from Sergio Busquets.

The 19-year-old centre-back is an England Under-20 international who made the move on transfer deadline day from Watford.

“It’ll be important for me to start playing, so I can learn more quickly,” said Wilmot in his presentation Press conference.

Udinese have officially signed Watford and England Under-20 defender Ben Wilmot on loan until the end of the season.

Wilmot is only 19 years old and joined Watford from Stevenage in July, going on to make six competitive appearances this season.

Both clubs are owned by the Pozzo family so players are regularly exchanged between the two sides.
