Watford goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon has agreed to join Deportivo La Coruna on loan.

Pantilimon has signed a season-long loan deal with the Spanish club after failing to secure a regular first-team place at Vicarage Road.

The 30-year-old Romania international, who began his career at Politehnica Timișoara, has made just two senior appearances for the Hornets since joining from Sunderland in 2016.

Heurelho Gomes has been preferred in goal at the start of the new season, while the arrival of Orestis Karnezis on loan from Udinese further limited Pantilimon's first-team opportunities.
