Watford have announced the signing of former Manchester City youngster Tom Dele-Bashiru.

The 19-year-old midfielder made one first-team appearance after coming through the ranks at the Etihad Stadium, featuring in a Carabao Cup win over Leicester in 2017.

Dele-Bashiru has signed a six-year contract with the Hornets after leaving City at the end of his deal.

A Nigeria Under-20 international who had previously represented England at youth level, he will be part of Javi Gracia’s first-team squad heading into the new season and joins Craig Dawson as a new recruit at Vicarage Road.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
