Watford have confirmed the signing of Christian Kabasele on a five-year contract from Genk for a fee Sky sources understand to be in the region of £5.8m.
The central defender, 25, has been with Marc Wilmots' Belgium squad for the duration of Euro 2016.
Kabasele was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo when it was known as Zaire, and made 81 appearances for Genk after joining them in 2014.
He becomes Watford's second summer signing following Thursday's confirmation of the arrival of Jerome Sinclair from Liverpool. Sky sources also understand Watford have completed a club-record deal for Isaac Success.
Kabasele, who will vie for selection under new manager Walter Mazzarri, has also played for Belgian teams Eupen and Mechelen, and spent a year with Bulgaria's Ludogorets Razgrad.
Watford have also confirmed Gabriele Angella has signed for Udinese. The 27-year-old central defender was a regular in the side that achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2015 and spent last season on loan at QPR.
