Adlene Guedioura

Crystal Palace midfielder Adlene Guedioura has joined Watford for an undisclosed fee.

Guedioura returns to Vicarage Road after two successful loan stints last season as the Hornets were elevated to the Premier League.

The Algerian, who played 17 times and scored three goals in their promotion-winning campaign, has penned a three-year contract.

The 29-year-old was Palace's 16th signing of the summer window two years ago when he joined the Premier League newcomers from Nottingham Forest.

But he failed to forge his way into the side despite some impressive performances and made just 19 appearances. He follows fellow midfielder Barry Bannan in departing the club as Palace look to reduce their wage bill.
