Gerard Deulofeu: Watford confirm signing of Barcelona winger
Last updated on .From the section Watford

Watford have confirmed the signing of winger Gerard Deulofeu on a five-year deal from Barcelona.
The Spanish champions say they have agreed a fee of £11.5m for the 24-year-old, plus £3.5m in add-ons.
Deulofeu, who has won four caps for Spain, spent the second half of last season on loan at Watford, scoring once in seven Premier League appearances.
The ex-Barcelona youth player has previously had two spells in the Premier League with Everton.
He spent the 2013-14 campaign on loan at Goodison Park and returned on a permanent basis in 2015 after an unsuccessful spell at Sevilla.
Following 18 months with the Toffees, Deulofeu finished the 2016-17 season on loan with AC Milan, then went back to Barcelona last summer when the Catalans activated a buy-back clause.
The deal with Barcelona also includes a sell-on clause, according to the Spanish club.
"We are very pleased to welcome Gerard back," said Watford chairman Scott Duxbury. "Our ambition to succeed and grow in the Premier League remains as strong as ever."
Deulofeu's most recent international appearance came in Spain's World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein in September.

Had a huge influence and impact on the pitch when he was fit.
With a squad of fully fit players, hopefully we will be able to compete for a top 10 spot, maybe even challenge for the last Europa spot.
I look forward to Merson and co writing us off as usual come the start of the season.
We get written off every season. Always pleasing to show up mugs like Merson. Look forward to doing the same this season.
Now for a striker and some fullbacks
You're not alone. People do care about you, just reach out.
I recall he had a good season at Everton, made it into my Fantasy League team, there is no higher accolade!
He's only 24, struggled at the highest level, but capable of much obviously.
Needs to develop composure in final pass, shot and work rate
