Transfer Centre

Watford bring in Italian international striker Stefano Okaka

By , Senior Reporter
Watford sign Italy international Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht for an undisclosed fee.

Watford have announced the signing of Italian striker Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht on a five-year deal.

The 27-year-old finalised his switch to Vicarage Road on Monday evening after agreeing personal terms with the Premier League side.

Okaka scored 17 goals for Anderlecht last season, helping his side to third place in the Belgian Pro League and also into the latter stages of the Europa League.

An impressive showing on loan at Sampdoria in 2014-15 led to Okaka, who has also previously spent a season in the Premier League with Fulham five years ago, being called up to the Italy senior squad.

Okaka's arrival could mark the end of Watford's transfer spending, having already broken their club-record fee for a player on two occasions with the signings of Isaac Success and Roberto Pereyra for £12.5m and £13m respectively.
