Watford have signed winger Nordin Amrabat on a three-and-a-half-year contract from Malaga.

“He can play at number 10; he holds the ball, he can turn quickly with the strength of a striker and escape the defensive line.

“He can also play as a winger because he has that pace and velocity – the power that adds to the options of a team.”
