Watford have completed the signing of Malaga forward Nordin Amrabat for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old has not joined in time to feature in tonight's game against Swansea but will be a part of the squad for next weekend's clash with Newcastle.
Amrabat was born in the Netherlands and represented the Dutch at Under-21 level before switching allegiance to Morocco, for whom he is now a senior international.
The midfielder's former clubs include PSV Eindhoven, Kayserispor and Galatasaray.
He joined Malaga on a permanent deal in the summer after a successful loan spell with the La Liga side last season but, just six months later, has agreed to move to the Premier League club.
"He has the qualities of the players we like," manager Quique Sanchez Flores told the club's official website.
"He can play at Number 10; he holds the ball, he can turn quickly with the strength of a striker and escape the defensive line.
"He can also play as a winger because he has that pace and velocity - the power that adds to the options of a team."
