Daryl Janmaat signs for Watford from Newcastle United

Watford have signed Daryl Janmaat from Newcastle United on a four-year deal.

Watford had faced competition from West Ham for Janmaat, 27, but the Hornets won out with Walter Mazzarri securing the right wing-back he has been searching for this summer.

The Netherlands international leaves Championship side Newcastle after two years at the club, having arrived from Feyenoord for £5 million in 2014.

Janmaat, who made 77 appearances in total for Newcastle, started the club's opening two games of the season, but did not feature in their following three.
