Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson has completed a permanent move from Chelsea to Aston Villa, becoming the latest addition to Unai Emery's squad in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old striker leaves Stamford Bridge for Villa Park in search of regular game time, and is expected to add pace and energy to Emery's attacking department.
Jackson's arrival is a significant statement of intent from the Villans, who continue to build a squad capable of pushing on both domestically and in Europe.
For Chelsea, the sale is another major departure as the London club reshapes its forward line, with the Senegal international now tasked with making an immediate impact in claret and blue.
Emery will be hoping to get the best out of a forward he clearly believes has more to give, and the Villa faithful will expect Jackson to hit the ground running at Villa Park.
