Watford have broken their club record on Transfer Deadline Day to sign Ismaila Sarr.
The 21-year-old winger joined from French club Rennes following months of negotiations between the two clubs.
The Hornets announced the deal on Thursday afternoon for a ‘club record fee’.
Watford did not announce the exact figure of the transfer but it is believed to be in the region of £30million.
Sarr has agreed a five-year contract with the club and is their fourth arrival this summer.
Danny Welbeck, Craig Dawson and Tom Dele-Bashiru also signed for Watford during the transfer window.
The Senegal international started out with Metz before earning a move to French side Rennes in 2017.
He went on to play 77 times for the Ligue 1 club over two seasons and scored 18 goals.
