Watford confirm Didier Ndong loan signing

Watford have confirmed the signing of Didier Ndong on loan from Sunderland for the remainder of the season.

The 23-year-old joined Sunderland from Lorient in the summer of 2016, and the midfielder scored once in 32 appearances for the Black Cats during the 2016-17 campaign.

Ndong has made 18 Championship appearances for Sunderland this season, meanwhile, contributing three assists.

The 18-time Gabon international has now left the Stadium of Light for Watford, however, and the Hornets revealed in a statement that they will have the chance to make the deal permanent at the end of the current campaign.

Ndong has followed Gerard Deulofeu and Dodi Lukebakio to Vicarage Road during the January transfer window.
