Matej Vydra has returned to Watford on a permanent basis after leaving Udinese to sign a five-year deal with the Premier League club.
The Czech Republic international played a key role in Watford's promotion from the Championship last season, scoring 16 goals in the second tier during a season-long loan.
Vydra netted 22 Championship goals with Watford during his first spell at the club in the 2012-13 campaign, then spent the following season in the top flight with West Brom on loan from Udinese.
Vydra was on target in a 2-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion that sealed Watford's place in the Premier League and also struck in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the season before Atdhe Nuhiu's late goal ensured Bournemouth were crowned champions.
