Sheffield Wednesday sign Daniel Pudil and Almen Abdi from Watford

Sheffield Wednesday have made a double swoop for Watford pair Daniel Pudil and Almen Abdi on permanent deals.

Pudil, who spent last season on loan at Hillsborough, and Abdi have joined the Championship club for undisclosed fees.

Left-back Pudil, 30, made 42 appearances for the Owls last term as they went to within one win of the Premier League, losing the playoff final to Hull.

He represented Czech Republic at Euro 2016 this summer.

Abdi, an attacking midfielder, is a Switzerland international who made 38 appearances for the Hornets in the top-flight last campaign, scoring two goals.
