Udinese and Watford are closer to agreeing terms over Marvin Zeegelaar's move from Vicarage Road.

The two clubs are thrashing out the final details to settle the Dutch defender's transfer.

TMW says Udinese see Zeegelaar as cover for Ken Sema, who joined the Zebrette from Watford just this past summer.

Zeegelaar would arrive in an initial loan arrangement.

The negotiations have the full backing of new Udinese coach Luca Gotti.
