The midfielder only moved to Derby County 18 months ago.
The Derby County midfielder, Tom Huddlestone, could make a permanent move to Udinese ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline, according to Sky Sports [deadline day live blog, 16:05].
Huddlestone is out of contract at the end of this season – although Derby have an option to extend his stay by a further year [Transfermarkt].
And having only started once in the Championship since Boxing Day, the 32-year-old’s chances of an extension are currently looking slim.
Whether Derby would request a fee for Huddlestone remains to be seen – although they may find the chance to shed the £2 million Gary Rowett signing’s reported high wages appealing in itself [Transfermarkt].
Sky Sports is also crediting the Rams with interest in Andy King, and Huddlestone’s departure could help to facilitate a move for the Leicester City midfielder.
Udinese are currently 16th in Serie A – four points above the relegation places.
