Gerard Deulofeu is moving closer to the exit door, with a loan switch to Udinese understood to be close.

Reports from Italy suggest that a deal has already been done, but sources close to the player state it is only close and has not been completed yet.

At the start of the day, Fiorentina were leading the charge to sign the former Barcelona man, but instead look set to sign José Callejon.

Deulofeu will be the second player to join Udinese today, with Ignacio Pussetto also heading to the fellow Pozzo-owned club as well.

Both deals are expected to go through before the transfer deadline at 11pm this evening.
