Watford have completed the permanent signing of Gerard Deulofeu from Barcelona, according to reports.
Deulofeu, the Spain winger, spent the second half of last season on loan at Vicarage Road, though injury problems restricted him to making just seven appearances for the Hornets.
Talks between Watford and Barcelona over a permanent deal for the 24-year-old have been going on for a number of weeks, and SPORT say the signing is now completed.
The Hertfordshire club have reportedly paid around £11.5m (€13m) to secure Deulofeu, who has previously represented Everton in the Premier League, while the deal is said to include clauses involving both appearances and a potential future transfer.
With the deal formally wrapped up between Watford and Barca, it is stated that the official announcement will be made next week, before the start of the World Cup on Thursday.
