Jose Manuel Jurado has left Premier League outfit Watford to link up with Quique Sanchez Flores and Espanyol for the next three years.
Jurado joined Watford ahead of the 2015-16 season but lasted just one year into a three-year deal at Vicarage Road as Walter Mazzarri prepares to take the reins.
The 30-year-old playmaker made 27 Premier League appearances for Watford last season but failed to find the net.
A Watford statement read: "The Hornets can confirm that Jose Manuel Jurado has today completed a permanent transfer to Espanyol..... All at Watford FC wish Jose well for the future.''
Jurado - a Europa League winner with Atletico Madrid in 2008-09 - becomes Espanyol's third signing this off-season, along with Jose Antonio Reyes and Roberto.
