“I knew about the club because the Pozzo family is well-known in Italy,” Britos explained, referencing the family which owns Watford and Udinese.
“I spoke to Valon Behrami, my ex-teammate at Napoli, and he told me about the club also.
“I also spoke to Pepe Reina, who said that when he played for Liverpool against Watford in 2007 they were very difficult to play against, especially at home, and he said good things about the club and English football.
“I have been in Italy for seven years and the experience was great. Not only for me as a footballer, but as a person as well.
“But I always loved watching the Premier League so as soon as the opportunity to join Watford came up I didn't need to think twice about it, I wanted to come straight away.
“My ambition is to help Watford to stay in the Premier League, and it is now a matter of concentrating hard on winning every game."
