Watford sign Udinese’s Semedo on five-year deal

Watford have signed Portuguese forward Vivaldo Semedo on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Serie A side Udinese.

Vivaldo Semedo has made four appearances for Portugal Under-20s

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Portuguese second division side Vizela, where he scored nine times in 25 appearances.

“Vivaldo is exactly the kind of player profile we want and need at Watford,” sporting director Gian Luca Nani told the club website.

“He will learn under [head coach] Paulo [Pezzolano], and we know he will adapt quickly to English football because we have already seen the development over a short period of time.”

Semedo has represented all of Portugal’s international youth sides between under-17 and under-20 levels.

He becomes the Hornets’ fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Hector Kyprianou, Nathan BaxterMarc Bola, and Semedo’s former Udinese teammate James Abankwah.
