Napoli and Inter target Gerard Deulofeu has joined English Premier League side Watford on loan until the end of the season.

The winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Milan from Everton, before Barcelona activated their buyback clause.

However, the arrival of Philippe Coutinho made him surplus to requirements, and the Spanish international was heavily linked with a return to Serie A.

This evening though the Catalan club have confirmed that their youth product will instead head to England for the remainder of the season.
