Watford youngster Adalberto Penaranda has been sent on loan to Italian side Udinese.

A statement on the club's website said that Watford "believe the highly-rated 19-year-old's progress is best served in the immediate future with regular first-team football".

The promising Venezuelan forward signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Premier League side earlier this year.
