Behrami seals Watford switch

Valon Behrami has become the sixth new arrival at Premier League newcomer Watford after signing a three-year deal.

Premier League newcomer Watford has confirmed the acquisition of Hamburg midfielder Valon Behrami on a three-year contract.

The Switzerland international returns to the Premier League after six seasons away - having left West Ham in January 2011 - and is the sixth new signing at Vicarage Road.

Behrami left Upton Park for Fiorentina and also played for Napoli before turning up at Hamburg in August 2014.

He became a regular last season as Hamburg battled for survival for a second successive campaign, making 22 appearances as the club narrowly avoided relegation from the Bundesliga.
