Croatian starlet and Chelsea forward Stipe Perica is poised to join Serie A side Udinese, according to Sky Italia.
The striker joined Chelsea in 2012, but is yet to play any kind of football for the club, either for the first team or the Under-21 side.
He joined Dutch outfit NAC Brada on a season-long loan deal last summer, but it seems his stint at the club has been cut short for another new destination.
The forward scored three goals in Eredivise this season, but will now join Serie A outfit Udinese; however the nature of the deal is still unclear.
Another Italian outfit in the form of Genoa were also interested in his services, but the player will join Andrea Stramaccioni’s side, who are ninth in Serie A at the moment.
