Watford starlet Adalberto Peñaranda spoke of his "sincerest love" of Granada's fanbase in a farewell letter to the club today.

Yesterday the Hornets confirmed the 19-year-old will spend the next season on loan at Udinese, another club owned by the Pozzo family, despite having been tipped for a breakthrough at Watford next season, for whom he is yet to make an appearance.

Following a successful loan spell at Granada last season, where he scored five goals in 21 starts in La Liga, the Venezuelan struck up a close bond with the club's fans, and penned a letter to them which has been published today by their official Twitter account.

His form in Spain has reportedly alerted the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid to his potential, but his future, for the next season at least, will be spent in Serie A.
