Aston Villa have signed striker Ross McCormack from Championship rivals Fulham in a £12 million deal.
McCormack, 29, has signed a four-year deal and could make his debut in Villa's opening game of the season against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday.
Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to bring Ross on board. He's a player with proven track record and plenty of experience in the division.
"His goal-scoring record has been excellent everywhere he has been, and we feel he can be an important addition."

On Wednesday, Fulham confirmed that they had accepted a bid from Villa for McCormack, who had also been linked with Norwich City.
The Scotland international, who signed a new contract last summer, cost Fulham £11m from Leeds in July 2014.
The 29-year-old scored 21 goals for the London club in the Championship last season.
Di Matteo had already brought goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, defender Tommy Elphick and midfielder Aaron Tshibola to Villa Park this summer.
