Crystal Palace have captured striker Connor Wickham from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old frontman has signed a five-year contract with the Eagles and bolsters Alan Pardew's forward line following Patrick Bamford's arrival from Chelsea.
Wickham netted 15 times in 91 outings for Sunderland and played his part in the Black Cats escaping relegation when he scored five in their last six matches.
"I spoke to the gaffer last week and he said all the right things about the club and I've got friends here who also told me some very good things," he said.
"I looked at the team before I arrived here and the signings that have been brought in, and the potential to score goals and the chances that could be created was a massive influence. Hopefully I can add to that talent and make the squad stronger."
Delighted to signed for @cpfc_palace_ a new start a new challenge and a new journey! ?? https://t.co/6LOXwnAGOZ
