WATFORD have completed a surprise loan deal for Napoli ace Juan Camilo Zuniga.
The Colombia international is a versatile full-back capable of playing on either side, and looks set to slot straight into Walter Mazzarri’s expected 3-5-2 formation next season.
The duo worked together for four years in southern Italy, and a permanent switch is on the cards if Zuniga can prove himself in the Premier League.
The 30-year-old made 125 appearances for Napoli before spending the last season on loan at Bologna and becomes the Hornets’ fourth signing of the summer.
Centre-back Christian Kabasele joined from Genk for £6million, with Jerome Sinclair also arriving at Vicarage Road in a £4m switch from Liverpool.
But it’s club-record signing Isaac Success who has the fans talking after he completed a £12.5m move from Granada.
