Sheffield United have completed the loan signing of striker Chris O'Grady from Brighton.
The 28-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley frontman has agreed a deal at Bramall Lane until January 31.
United boss Nigel Clough told the club website: "It has been something of a drawn-out affair, we have been chasing Chris for a while and we are just delighted to get it over the line until the end of January with a view to extending it.
"There are not too many strikers of Chris's calibre around at the moment, we liked him last season at Barnsley and he has got good Championship experience.
"Chris was a target for us in the summer, but Brighton came in with a deal we simply couldn't match in terms of wages and what they could have been potentially offering him as a playing challenge.
"Talks of a permanent move haven't taken place, hopefully we will extend it until the end of the season come January and then re-assess in the summer."
