RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Udinese striker Felipe Vizeu has joined Brazil's Athletico Paranaense on loan, the Italian Serie A club said on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will be tied to the Curitiba-based side until December 31 this year, read a statement on Udinese's official website.

"The club wishes the player all the best and good luck in his new adventure with the Atletico Paranaense shirt," it said.

Vizeu made just five first-team appearances for Udinese after joining the club from Flamengo in February 2018.

He spent 2019 on loan at Gremio, scoring five times in 26 appearances for the Porto Alegre outfit.
