Watford secure loan deal for Napoli defender Juan Camilo Zuniga

Watford have strengthened their squad ahead of the new season with the loan signing of Napoli defender Juan Camilo Zuniga.

The Colombian international has been with the Serie A giants since 2009, but he was loaned out to Bologna for the second half of the last campaign and he has now been allowed to spend the next 10 months in the Premier League.

Watford also have the option of securing a permanent deal for the 30-year-old should he impress during his time at Vicarage Road.

Zuniga is no stranger to new Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri after they worked together at Napoli between 2009 and 2013.
