Bournemouth have completed the signing of Brazilian striker Evanilson from Porto in a club record £40.2m deal.
Evanilson, 24, scored 60 goals in 154 appearances for Porto during his four years in Portugal.
The Cherries will pay an initial fee of £31.7m with the potential for another £8.5m on top, should certain clauses be met, making him their most expensive buy.
Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: “Evanilson is a hugely sought-after striker and for us to bring him to the club in a record-breaking deal shows our ambition and intent.
“It’s well known that we were keen on bringing a striker to the football club and for us to complete this deal so quickly is a testament to our recruitment team.”
Evanilson is a two-time Brazil international, having won his first senior international cap earlier this year.
He was part of Brazil’s squad at the Copa America, featuring as a late substitute in their quarter-final exit to Uruguay.
The new recruit will wear the number nine shirt vacated by Dominic Solanke, who signed for Tottenham in a deal worth up to £65m earlier this month.
