Watford sign Roberto Pereyra from Juventus

Watford have announced the signing of Roberto Pereyra on a "long-term deal" from Juventus.

The 25-year-old initially joined Juve on loan in 2014 before making that switch permanent last summer and helping the club to retain the Serie A title during the 2015-16 campaign.

The Hornets are rumoured to have spent a club-record fee on the Argentina international, exceeding the £12.5m they paid for Isaac Success earlier this summer.

Before moving to Juventus, Pereyra played for Udinese, who are owned by the same family that own Watford.
