Watford's Juanfran to join Deportivo on season-long loan

Watford right-back Juanfran is to join Deportivo La Coruna on a second season-long loan.

The 26-year-old spent the whole of last term at the La Liga club, where he made 34 league starts.

It has now been revealed by Deportivo that a deal has been struck with newly-promoted Premier League side Watford to take the Madrid-born defender back to Riazor for another year.

"The club has reached an agreement with Watford and Juanfran for the player to join Deportivo on loan this coming season," a club statement read. "Juanfran will arrive tonight in A Coruna and will join the team in training on Friday morning."

Juanfran, who was snapped up by the Hornets for a reported fee of around £1m last summer, is under contract at the London club until 2016.
