Watford have completed the signing of defender Younes Kaboul from Sunderland.
The 30-year-old centre-back has signed a three-year contract after the Frenchman asked to leave the Wearside club due to personal reasons.
'I'm very happy and delighted to be a part of Watford Football Club, and I'm looking forward to the season,' he told watfordfc.com.
Former France international Kaboul attempted to explain his desire to leave Sunderland, praising the club for their handling of the situation.
