Watford seal signing of Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht on five-year contract

Watford have strengthened their forward line with the signing of former Roma and Sampdoria striker Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht.

The 27-year-old, who has played for Italy four times and scored on his debut against Albania in November 2014, notched 17 goals for Anderlecht last season.

A statement on the Vicarage Road club's website confirmed he had joined the Hornets on a five-year contract, following last week's triple swoop for Daryl Janmaat, Roberto Pereyra and Younes Kaboul.
