Watford have announced the signing of midfielder Roberto Pereyra from Serie A side Juventus, subject to the approval of a work permit.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has agreed a five-year deal at Vicarage Road.
Pereyra joined the Turin side in July 2014, initially on loan, and played nearly 70 matches as La Vecchia Signora secured back-to-back Serie A and Coppa Italia titles in 2014/15 and 2015/16, scoring six goals in total for the club.
The Argentina international also featured in the 2015 UEFA Champions League final, which Juve lost 3-1 to Barcelona.
Pereyra began his professional career in his homeland with River Plate before moving to Udinese, where he made 104 outings between 2011 and 2014.
Capped 10 times by Argentina Pereyra has become Watford’s seventh signing of the summer transfer window after Jerome Sinclair, Christian Kabasele, Isaac Success, Juan Camilo Zuniga, Brice Dja Djedj and Younes Kaboul.
The Hornets will next be in action when they host Chelsea on Saturday.
