Chris O'Grady has agreed to join Brighton & Hove Albion from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old forward has agreed a three-year deal with Albion, after finalising personal terms and passing a medical at the Amex earlier today.*
He will link up with his new teammates for training on Monday and is set for his first appearance in an Albion shirt on Wednesday evening in the friendly at Crawley Town.
Manager Sami Hyypia said, "This is an area we want to strengthen and Chris is a good start. He is a strong, physical presence and gives us something different to the other strikers we already have here at the club.*
"You need that option in the squad of a forward with power and strength, and Chris can give us that - as well as scoring goals. We still want some extra attacking additions, and in other areas of the team, but I'm pleased we have another one of our targets."
