Watford have confirmed that they have completed the signing of Genk defender Christian Kabasele.

Earlier on Friday, it had been suggested that the Hornets were closing in on the 25-year-old and the Premier League side have wasted little time in announcing that the defender has penned a five-year deal at Vicarage Road.

During his time with Genk, Kabasele scored seven times in 81 appearances and the player is currently at Euro 2016 with Belgium as they look to win the tournament for the first time.

Watford have also been heavily linked with the signing of Isaac Success from Granada but that is yet to be confirmed by the club.
