Watford snap up Lithuania goalkeeper Arlauskis

Lithuania's Giedrius Arlauskis has been added to Watford's goalkeeping ranks ahead of the new season.

Watford has announced the signing of Lithuania international goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old was part of the side that won the Romanian title with Steaua Bucharest this season, but has opted for a switch to Vicarage Road to join the Premier League newcomers.

Arlauskis will be looking to press first-choice goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes for the number one shirt at Watford, which also has Jonathan Bond and Rene Gilmartin in its ranks.

Should he play for Watford in the top flight, Arlauskis would become just the second Lithuanian to feature in the Premier League, after Arsenal's Tomas Danilevicius.
