Watford winger Dion Pereira is moving to Atlanta United.
The 19-year-old midfielder spent 10 years at Watford and was a regular for their U23 team for the past three years, making 49 appearances and scoring 14 goals.
Pereira was named Watford’s Young Player of the Season in 2017 and made his first-team debut last May, coming off the bench in the Premier League games against Leicester and Manchester City.
“We’re pleased to welcome Dion to the club and look forward to him joining the squad as we head into the 2019 season,” Atlanta United vice president and technical director Carlos Bocanegra said.
“We identified him as a young, technical player who we believe will adapt well to Atlanta United and MLS.”
