Arsenal have signed Belgian international Leandro Trossard from Brighton for £21m plus add-ons.
The 28-year-old forward’s contract runs until 2027 and has an option to extend by one year.
He has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 16 top-flight games for Brighton this season, including a hat-trick against Liverpool at Anfield.
Trossard also made three appearances – two as a substitute and one start – for Belgium at the 2022 World Cup.
Arsenal said they had submitted the necessary documents and hoped Trossard would be available to face Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
The Belgian striker will wear number 19 for the Gunners and manager Mikel Arteta has praised his quality.
“It was good work from everyone at the club to complete the signing of Leandro,” the Spanish boss told the club’s website.
“He is a versatile player with high technical ability, intelligence and great experience in the Premier League and at international level.
“Leandro is strengthening our squad as we enter the second part of the season and we are all looking forward to working with him.
“We welcome Leandro and his family to Arsenal Football Club.”
