Spanish football star Gerard Deulofeu has completed a loan move to Premier League club Watford from Spanish giants Barcelona.

Barcelona who are currently topping the Spainsh La Liga table have confirmed that the 23-year-old midfielder will be at Watford till June 2018.

Last summer, Barcelona brought him back from Everton for 12 million euros ($15 million) but the 23-year-old has failed to earn a place in Ernesto Valverde's side.

The arrival of Brazilian winger Philippe Coutinho at Barcelona also made it more difficult for him to get a place in the Catalans' first team line up.

Deulofeu has played a total of 110 games for Barcelona's first team and the B team. With the first team, he has won the League and two Spanish Super cups. In the 2011/12 season, he was the top scorer for Barçelona B with nine goals.

Gerard Deulofeu is now expected to help Premier League club Watford this season as the club currently occupy 10th position on the log with 26 points after 24 games.
