Watford have signed goalkeeper Egil Selvik from Italian 'sister club' Udinese for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old Norway international had only recently joined Udinese from Haugesund but has now agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract at Vicarage Road.
He will plug the gap caused by Daniel Bachmann's ankle ligament injury, which has ruled him out for up to three months.
Selvik made his first Norway start against Scotland in November 2023 and has so far won four international caps.
He joins a Watford side currently ninth in the Championship ahead of Saturday's lunchtime kick-off against Norwich City, three points outside the play-off places.
