The Hornets defender leaves the Premier League club following an injury-wracked stint and some fans bid farewell by remembering his goal against Arsenal.
Watford have announced that Younes Kaboul has left the club after two-and-a-half years on their books.
The 32-year-old defender joined the Hornets from Sunderland in August 2016, making 26 appearances overall for the Hertfordshire outfit and being heavily involved in his maiden season.
However, the former Tottenham Hotspur captain, who notched up 141 appearances for Spurs (Transfermarkt), has struggled with injuries and has not played since a 2-0 win over Southampton 15 months ago.
Kaboul, who was not included in Watford’s 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season, would have seen his contract expire at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.
However, the Hornets have now opted to cancel the former France international’s contract by mutual consent ahead of the January transfer window.
“Everyone at Watford wishes Younes well for the future and thanks him for his contributions while at Vicarage Road,” read a club statement.
The defender scored two goals during his spell at Vicarage Road, one of which came during a 2-1 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in January 2017.
Following Watford’s announcement of Kaboul’s departure, some Hornets fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions, with several praising his effort against the Gunners:
