English side Watford will welcome Udinese’s Alexander Merkel and Mathias Ranegie in the January transfer window.

The Hornets had coach Gianfranco Zola resign this week after a poor start to the season with Giuseppe Sannino expected to replace him.

According to Tuttomercatoweb the club’s owner Gino Pozzo will see both Mathias Ranegie and Alexander Merkel move to Watford in the upcoming transfer window.

Pozzo holds a stake in both Udinese and Watford and has been known to move his players between clubs at will.

This season has already seen the additions of both Marco Faraoni and Diego Fabbrini from Udinese.

Alexander Merkel has failed to live up to the potential that he’d demonstrated during his spells with Genoa and AC Milan.

Mathias Ranegie has drifted behind the likes of Luis Muriel in the pecking order at Udinese and would reinforce Watford’s striking options.

The January additions could help spurn Watford on to earn a place in the play-off positions in the fight for promotion.
