Nigeria forward Isaac Success has agreed to join Serie A club Udinese this summer, Completesports.com reports.
Udinese and Watford had agreed a deal for the pacy striker earlier this summer, but Success was not willing to leave the Hornets.
The 25-year-old was determined to fight for his place at Vicarage Road despite the influx of attacking options available to manager Xisco Munoz.

The club has however made it clear to him that he is not needed for Watford’s Premier League challenge.
According to Watford Observer , talks are continuing regarding the finer details of the move, but the main hurdle has now been overcome with the player agreeing to join the Italian side.
A deal is expected to be announced before the window closes in just under two weeks’ time.
Success made only 10 Championship appearances for Watford last season, scoring one goal, as he was out of action for almost a year with a lacerated Achilles tendon.

After months and months of speculations, it has now been announced that Isaac Success will join Italia Serie A side Udinese.
With less than 4 months left for next year’s afcon in Cameroon, it will take a miracle akin to Moses parting the red sea for the e English Premier League flop to make Nigeria’s Afcon squad.
The one-time strike partner of Kelechi Iheanacho has drifted far wide apart from his former under-17 strike partner that it is so unreal.
Both once tipped to take the English Premier League by storm and to establish themselves as full internationals, Iheanacho has ticked all the boxes while Success is out of the box altogether.
Europa League football, FA triumph, Community Sheild success: those are the circles where Iheanacho mingles these days.
As for Isaac, he is on his way to Italy where the once promising sharpshooter will aim to grind his shooting axe once again.
But, will he ever develop into that player many had expected, only time will tell.
And time, is not something on Isaac Success’ side anymore more so as young, vibrant and exciting indigenous and dual nationality players keep emerging by day for Nigeria.
Good luck to him in Italy.
Fine analysis @deo. With discipline and focus, he could still make the January Afcon party.
He has all the potentials of a lethal forward – a power player with great agility and reflexes reminiscent of Yakubu Ayegbeni. Would have been a great complement to Osimhen’s lean frame but sleek style.
Sadly all these immense potentials are lying waste, un-mined, unexplored and misdirected to the red districts/light zone *winks*..
DISCIPLINE. FOCUS. These 2 key characters can pull him out of the doldrums and turn his SE career around and into the spotlight. Wishing Success great success at Udinese
Success problem is stubborn and arogant
@Chibuike nice talk, very simple the fact is Isaac success really disappointed me he is too arrogant and stubborn.
He started been arrogant when the money was flowing in, very humble when he started but now money has changed everything, if he doesn’t change he will be the second balotelli and Diego Costa, good players but bad characters
