Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "It feels like a long time in the making. He's got the same agent as Joao Gomes and is a player we talked about when we did Joao. We hadn't been in a financial position in other windows to do it, when we were interested. It's one that I thought we were going to miss out on, so I'm unbelievably excited to have him come and join us.
"He works hard, wins his tackles and picks up second balls. He's physically good and we think he'll thrive in the Premier League, similar to how Joao has. Our midfield now feels like a real strength of ours.
"I want the fans to be excited about it, but remember when Joao came across, he had six months to sit under Mario and Ruben and get used to the country and the Premier League with minutes off the bench. We've got to give players the time to settle.
"You can never have enough players that have won trophies. But it's a player that we're picking on the way up, he's not coming to having won his trophies on the way down. He's won trophies at a young age and he's still on his way up and still wants to learn and grow and commit and be part of the project."
