Through official channels, Championship outfit Watford have informed the public that they have struck a deal with Crewe Alexandra for Uche Ikpeazu to spend the next two months on loan at Gresty Road.

Since appending his signature to a contract  in the summer of 2013, the Anglo - Nigerian is yet to make his debut for the Hornets in an official competition.

The 19 - year - old spent a portion of last season on loan at Crewe Alexandra, scoring 4 goals in 15 appearances in the league.

Uche Ikpeazu will return to Watford on January 25, 2015 if both parties do not prolong the loan agreement.

He previously turned out for the youth team of Reading.
