Watford sign Barcelona player Gerard Deulofeu

Watford have announced they have signed Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu on a five-year deal running until 2023.

Deulofeu spent the second half of last season on loan at Watford and now the Hornets have secured his services on a permanent basis.

Javi Gracia’s side have reportedly shelled out in the region of €15m to re-sign the 24-year-old, completing their first signing of the summer.

“We are very pleased to welcome Gerard back to Vicarage Road and thank FC Barcelona for their part in concluding this deal,” Watford chairman Scott Duxbury told the club’s official website.

“Our ambition to succeed and grow in the Premier League remains as strong as ever.”

Deulofeu only made seven appearances for Watford during the second half of last season, netting once in that time.
