Hull City have finally wrapped up the signature of Nick Proschwitz from SC Paderborn, for a reported fee of £2.6m.
The 25-year-old forward has signed a three-year deal with the Tigers and has revealed that playing in the Premier League is a "dream" and hopes he can help Hull win promotion.
"I'm delighted to have completed my move to the club," he told the club's official website.
"I think Hull City is the perfect club for me and the next stage of my career - I'm proud to call myself a Hull City player.
"Playing in the Premier League is a big goal for me and I believe Hull City can help me achieve that goal."
Proschwitz scored 17 goals last season for Paderborn.
