Bulgaria's young football talent Antonio Vutov signed a 4.5 year contract with Italian Serie A team Udinese on Thursday.

The transfer fee for the 17-year old former Levski Sofia player is believed to be EUR 500 00, with performance-related clauses which can boost the deal up to EUR 1 M.

Despite his tender age, Vutov became a regular starter for Levski, playing a total of 39 matches, in which he scored 4 goals.

Udinese is currently 13th in the Italian league, out of 20 teams. The team's next match is an away game to Sampdoria on Monday.
