Newly promoted Watford have signed Valon Behrami from German club Hamburg.

The Switzerland international completed the deal after leaving Germany to finalise negotiations with the Hornets on Thursday.

"Very happy to announce that I'm officially a player of @WatfordFC #hornets,"  Behrami Tweeted on Saturday evening.

Behrami has experience of English football, having moved to West Ham from Lazio in 2008, and going onto make over 50 appearances for the London club.

The 30-year-old joined Hamburg from Napoli last summer for £4.3m but Watford have apparently acquired the Kosovo-born player for £3m.

Behrami watched some of his new team-mates playing against AFC Wimbledon in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

Watford have signed former Juventus defender Marco Motta this summer, and midfielder Etienne Capoue from Tottenham.

And Watford have also been in talks with Spurs midfielder Benjamin Stambouli after agreeing a fee with their Premier League counterparts.
