Watford sign Danish striker Luca Kjerrumgaard on an initial season-long loan from sister club Udinese.
Watford have signed Danish striker Luca Kjerrumgaard on an initial season-long loan from Udinese.
The Italian club signed Kjerrumgaard, 22, this summer after he scored 22 goals in 29 games for Odense last season, helping them win promotion to the Danish top flight.
He came through the Odense academy but has also spent time on loan at second-tier Nykobing and in Norway with Stabaek.
"Luca is a talented player who has performed very well in Denmark," Hornets boss Paulo Pezzolano said.
"Now he has the opportunity to play in a competition as tough as the Championship and give us more options in attack.
"We're really excited about his signing."
Udinese and the Hornets are both owned by members of the Pozzo family, who are currently trying to sell the Italian Serie A club after nearly 40 years involvement.
Watford finished 14th in the Championship last season and sacked head coach Tom Cleverley, replacing him with Pezzolano.
