Nordin Amrabat: Watford sign Morocco forward from Malaga

Nordin Amrabat has 23 caps for Morocco

Watford have signed Morocco forward Nordin Amrabat from Spanish side Malaga.

Amrabat, 28, was on loan at the La Liga club last season before signing a permanent deal and has made 15 appearances this term.

Born in the Netherlands, he was capped at under-21 level before playing 23 times for Morocco.

"He has the qualities of the players we like," said Hornets manager Quique Sanchez Flores.

"He can play at number 10; he holds the ball, he can turn quickly with the strength of a striker and escape the defensive line."
