Watford have signed Leicester City forward Stephy Mavididi and Strasbourg defender Soumaila Coulibaly on season-long loan deals and added striker Myron Boadu on a free transfer.

Mavididi was a key player in the Foxes' Championship-winning season in 2023-24 but the 28-year-old has only featured once this season since their relegation into League One.

Coulibaly, 22, was a youngster in the Paris St-Germain academy before a spell in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and only joined Strasbourg last summer, spending a large part of last season on loan at fellow Ligue 1 club Brest.

One-cap Dutch international Boadu, 25, left PSV Eindhoven at the end of last season and has previously played for AZ Alkmaar and Monaco.

The trio join a Hornets side currently 13th in the table after the 2-0 loss at Swansea City.
