Watford have signed wing-back, Krepin Diatta on a free transfer.
Diatta’s move to Vicarage Road comes after he was released by Monaco in June after a five-and-a-half year spell in which he scored eight goals in 143 appearances.
“I am very happy to join the team,” explained Diatta to watfordfc.com on his move after discussions with the club and believes that he can help the Hornets achieve promotion.
“After talking with the people here, the project was very clear in my head.
“Watford is a top club that were in the Premier League not too long ago, and I think this is the place they should be.”
The 27-year-old wing-back who can play in any position on the right side of the pitch has signed an initial nine-month contract for the remainder of this season, with an option to extend for a further year until June 2028.
Diatta began his club career at Sarpsborg 08 where he scored eight goals in 27 appearances in his first senior season 2017, which led him to join Belgium’s Club Brugge where he delivered 20 goals in 95 appearances between January 2018 to 2021.
During his time at Club Brugge, Diatta helped then win the Belgian First Division A title in 2017-18 and 2019-20 seasons, plus the 2018 Belgian Super Cup.
At international level, Diatta represents Senegal with two goals in 66 appearances.
