Watford sign Adalberto Penaranda from Granada on deal until 2020

Watford have completed the signing of Venezuelan forward Adalberto Penaranda from Granada.

Penaranda, 18, joins the Hornets for an undisclosed fee on a contract which runs until the summer of 2020 but will be immediately loaned back to Granada.

The announcement came just two hours after Watford had loaned Abdoulaye Doucoure to the Spanish club following his switch to Vicarage Road from Stade Rennes.

The Venezuela under-20 international is the youngest foreign player to score a brace in a La Liga, beating Lionel Messi's record. He is also the youngest player to ever play for Granada.
