Watford have completed the signing of former Monaco and PSV striker Myron Boadu on a permanent deal.
Boadu was in the directors' box for Saturday's game against West Ham United and has signed for the Hornets as he aims to revitalise a career that once seemed destined for the top of the game.
He could still be joined in the forward area by Michail Antonio, who will remain in talks beyond Tuesday night's 11pm deadline.
Signed. Sealed. Delivered. 😍

The forward told the club website: "I’m delighted to be here.
"Everybody knows the club from their days in the Premier League.
"I'm happy to be playing football in England for the first time. This is the heaven of football.
"It was an easy decision to join Watford."
The 25-year-old is capped for the Netherlands, scoring in his only appearance against Estonia in a Euro 2020 qualifier, having netted 38 goals in 88 games after breaking through as a teenager.
That run earned him a €17 million move to Monaco, but a series of injuries have set him back since and he is currently available after his contract with PSV, signed last summer, ended in July.
The Hornets have moved opportunistically to sign Boadu, who can be compared to Edoardo Bove in the sense that his best level should be well beyond what Watford could usually afford but that circumstances have made him available.
