🚨 JORDAN ZEMURA CLOSING IN ON WATFORD MOVE AFTER UDINESE EXIT
24 July 2026, 16:11
📝 THE FULL PICTURE:
Zimbabwe international Jordan Zemura is reportedly one step away from joining English Championship side Watford. According to Italian transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio, the deal is in an advanced stage. Watford are also set to sign Udinese midfielder Martín Payero, and Zemura is expected to follow as part of negotiations between the two clubs. The full-back was left out of Udinese’s pre-season camp in Austria, which only fueled rumors. Now, the details have been finalised. Zemura is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days and sign his contract. This would be a return to England for the 26-year-old, who spent four years at Bournemouth before moving to Udinese on a free transfer in 2023. Neither club has officially confirmed it yet, but Di Marzio says only formalities remain.
💭 MY TAKE:
This move makes sense for all parties. Zemura needs game time after being frozen out at Udinese, and Watford get a proven Championship performer. The fact that Watford are also taking Payero tells you these clubs are basically doing a two-for-one deal. Smart business. If the medical goes smooth, expect an official announcement any day now. Let's go, Zimbabwe ballers making moves.
