Newcastle United have signed forward Yoane Wissa for £55 million from Brentford.
The fee for the DR Congo international, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season, is an initial £50m plus £5m in add-ons.
Brentford rejected two previous offers for Wissa from the Magpies this summer.
The move comes after Newcastle sold striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool for a British transfer record fee of £125m.
Wissa will wear the number nine at St James' Park.
It brings an end to a protracted transfer saga, which saw the 28-year-old issue a statement on Sunday publicly confirming he wanted to leave Brentford.
Wissa urged the Bees to "keep their word" to let him leave, and accused the London club of "unduly standing in his way" of a move to Newcastle.
