Watford have signed striker Odion Ighalo on a one-year loan deal from Serie A side Udinese.
The 25-year-old has been a regular on loan at Granada since arriving at Udinese back in 2008.
Ighalo, a former Nigeria Under-20 international, has also spent a loan spell in Italy with Cesena.
"I am happy, since I first got the call from the president I’ve been very happy. It’s a good opportunity to help the team gain promotion to the Premier League,” he told the club's official website.
"Two seasons ago I watched the play-offs when they almost gained promotion, and I was following Watford because it’s the same owner as Granada and Udinese.
"Even last season, I’ve been watching their games a lot and they’re a good team. I’m here to help the team, to do my best and make sure we work hard and gain promotion.
"I’m here to put on a Watford shirt now. I have to defend this jersey until the last minute and until we get our promotion."
