Watford Recall Uche Ikpeazu From Crewe

Championship club Watford FC have recalled Uche Ikpeazu from Crewe Alexander on completion of his two-month loan stint.

Earlier report claimed Alex have extended the 19-year-old striker’s loan until the end of the season, but Watford has confirmed he will return to Vicarage Road and will be loaned out to another third-tier side.

Ikpeazu scored twice in his second loan spell with Crewe, who currently lie 20th in League One, following Saturday’s derby win over local rivals Port Vale. He scored four goals in 15 league appearances in his initial loan spell in the second half of the 2013-14 season.

The Nigerian-born striker is yet to make an appearance for Watford this campaign.
