Watford has this morning (Sunday) revealed they have clinched the signing of imposing Queens Park Rangers defender, Danny Shittu.
Shittu, 25, had been the subject of a two way tussle involving the Golden Boys and recently relegated West Bromwich Albion, but the Nigerian born played finally agreed to a three year deal at Vicarage Road after Watford increased their original £1.5 million offer to the Loftus Road club.
Shittu arrives at Watford after making 181 appearances in a Hoops shirt for a fee of £1.6 million, which could rise to £3m subject to appearances and future Golden Boys success.
The centre half missed the West Londoners opening day Coca-Cola Championship defeat at Burnley yesterday, but is now available to make his non-competitive debut for Watford against Inter Milan in their prestigious home friendly against the Italian giants on Tuesday evening, Kick-off 7.45pm.
