Italian club Udinese are set to make a move for Watford midfielder Valon Behrami in the January transfer window.

According to reports, Udinese and Hornets owners the Pozzo family have offered the Swiss international regular game time in Italy after failing to force his way into Quique Sanchez Flores' side.

Behrami has made just 10 Premier League appearances for the in-form London club, five of which have been starts, and is seeking more minutes as Euro2016 fast approaches.

However, Flores recently insisted that the former West Ham United, Lazio, Fiorentina, Napoli and Hamburg man remains an integral part of his squad.

"I don't have any doubts about Behrami," said the Spaniard.

"I can't guarantee first-team football for any player, so the guarantee to be in the first eleven for any player is to train well.

"Every single week is different for us. I can guarantee Valon Behrami is a very important player for us."
