Winger signs five-year contract after loan spell at Vicarage Road last season

Watford have completed the permanent signing of Gerard Deulofeu on a long-term deal from Barcelona.

The 24-year-old winger spent the final part of the 2017/18 campaign on loan at Vicarage Road.

He made seven Premier League appearances and scored one goal, which came in Watford’s 4-1 victory over Chelsea in February.

Deulofeu, formerly of Everton, is Watford’s second signing of the summer. He follows Ben Wilmot, who joined from Stevenage.
