Huddersfield Town have beaten off competition from the likes of Leeds United and and Celtic to sign 20-year-old forward Jordy Hiwula.
Hiwula joins for an undisclosed fee on a contract running until 2018, with a club option for an extra year that can be activated.
A pacey and powerful striker, he spent the second half of last season on loan at Walsall where he scored nine goals in 19 appearances and caught the eye of many during his spell with the Saddlers.
He has also made a combined four appearances at England U18 and U19 level, scoring twice including a debut goal for the U19s against Estonia.
Consequently, there had been lots of interest in Hiwula as soon as the window opened, but the Terriers have won the race for his signature.
Speaking to htafc.com, Hiwula described the move as "A good opportunity" to "show what he can do."
He went on to add that all he has heard about Huddersfield Town are "good and positive things."
Hiwula also admitted that seeing his former teammates Harry Bunn and Tommy Smith enjoy success, who also moved from Manchester City to Huddersfield, was a factor in his decision.
Manager Chris Powell indicated Hiwula would fly out with the squad to Spain for the pre-season camp, but that an assessment would be made on whether he would be involved in Saturday's friendly with Leyton Orient.
Hiwula the answer to Huddersfield prayers?
For a considerable amount of time, Huddersfield have struggled to keep a consistent front two due to injury, and have often used stop-gap players to fill the holes.
However, with the signings of Jordy, the Terriers now have four strikers on the books, including James Vaughan, Nahki Wells and Ishmael Miller.
As a result, depth shouldn't be an issue in the forward department, and they can now look to strengthen other areas such as the defence as another tricky Championship season awaits.
Terriers set for assault on Championship?
With the aforementioned front-men of Wells, Vaughan, Miller and Hiwula, in addition to the trickery of Sean Scannell and creativity of Jacob Butterfield, it could be argued that Huddersfield are set to surprise a few people moving into the new campaign.
The capturing of Hiwula perfectly compliments the earlier signing of Carlisle United midfielder Kyle Dempsey, another player with huge potential.
The philosophy of Huddersfield Town, which includes buying young players and developing them for eventual profit, has worked well in the past, as shown by the likes of Jordan Rhodes, Anthony Pilkington and recently Conor Coady.
