Dutch-Nigerian right-back Kingsley Ehizibue, 31, is set to move from Udinese to Watford, a club that is also under the ownership of the Pozzo family. His departure is a necessary step for Udinese to free up a squad position before they can finalize a deal for another player.
Once the transfer is complete, Watford will assess Ehizibue's final destination; a return to his home country is one of the possibilities. The club Zwolle is reportedly following the situation with interest for a potential permanent or loan deal. Ehizibue, who has one cap for the Netherlands U21 team, joined Udinese in August 2022, and his contract is set to expire in June 2026. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 32 appearances, scoring 2 goals. His current valuation according to Transfermarkt is €2.00m.
