Southampton have completed the signing of forward Ben Brereton Diaz from Villarreal for about £7m.
The Chile striker has signed a four-year deal at St Mary's to end a 12-month stay at the Spanish club.
Brereton Diaz moved to La Liga on a free transfer after his contract expired at Blackburn but failed to score in 20 appearances.
"I'm absolutely buzzing. It’s been smooth these past couple of days, and I’m happy to get everything sorted and signed," he said.
"I’m really excited to meet everyone - it’s great to be involved with this great club.
“Watching the club when I was younger, it was always in the Premier League. Everything has aligned together and I think it’s an amazing club. I can’t wait to get started.”
