Newcastle United signed Sweden striker Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad
The 22-year-old becomes the Magpies' fourth summer signing after Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman.
Isak scored 44 goals in 132 appearances for Sociedad and has nine in 37 caps for his country.
"It was a big, big decision for me, but it is a decision I am thrilled with," he said.
"It is a great, historical club that I think anyone would like to play for, with great fans. They were a big part of why I came here - and also the club's project, which is one that I believe in.
"You always want to join a team and know how they play. I think Newcastle play beautiful football, and I want to be a part of that."
Ex-Borussia Dortmund player Isak's arrival at St James' Park boosts Newcastle's attacking options given the injury record of Callum Wilson, who is currently out with a hamstring strain.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said: "I'm very excited that Alexander has chosen to join us. He is an outstanding talent capable of contributing significantly to the team.
"He is technically perfect, with a mix of attributes that will complement us, but he is also at a great age to grow with this club.
"I want to thank the club's owners and transfer committee for bringing Alexander to Newcastle. We are all delighted to have him on board."
