Aston Villa have announced the arrival of Leon Bailey from Bayer Leverkusen, the Premier League club's third signing for the summer.
As Sportsmail exclusively revealed last month, the Villans had been eyeing a £30m swoop for the Jamaica international, a player long monitored by a host of top flight clubs.
The West Midlands club saw a £30million bid accepted by the German side and Bailey - who has been on international duty with Jamaica in the United States - passed his medical on Sunday.
The finer details of his personal terms were agreed earlier this week, while his work permit and visa applications went through, allowing the transfer to be finalised.
Head coach Dean Smith said: 'Leon is a hugely exciting young striker with great pace and creativity. He has enjoyed a successful career at Leverkusen and we are now looking forward to watching him show his skills and talents for Aston Villa in the Premier League.'
