Done Deal: Udinese hand Iker Bravo, Zemura and Payero to Watford Udinese are completing a triple sale to Watford, handing over Iker Bravo, Martin Payero and Jordan Zemura to the English Championship side. The two clubs are still both owned by the Pozzo family, so have a long history of exchanging players at favourable terms. Those bonds remain and they continue to do regular business together.
