CONFIRMED: Watford sign Italy international Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht

Watford have signed Italian international Stefano Okaka from Anderlecht, the Premier League club have announced.

The 27-year-old underwent a medical on Monday after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the transfer, and the Hornets confirmed Okaka has agreed a five-year deal at Vicarage Road.

A powerful forward, Okaka hit 17 times last season in all competitions, helping Anderlecht to third in the Belgian Pro League and the last 16 of the Europa League.

After starting out with AS Roma in Serie A, he took in various loan spells during his time in Italy, with most Premier League fans aware of him due to a short time spent with Fulham in the 2010/2011 season.
