Huddersfield have bolstered their strikeforce for a Sky Bet Championship promotion push with the signing of Collin Quaner for an undisclosed fee.
The German striker arrives at the Terriers from Bundesliga 2 side Union Berlin, where he has scored eight goals and made five assists in 16 starts this season, on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Quaner, whose deal is subject to international clearance, is expected to be available to Town boss David Wagner for Saturday's visit of Ipswich.
Wagner told the club's official website: "We are delighted that Collin has agreed to join us.
"The opportunity to bring a player like him into your squad in the January window is rare - the top scorer for a team pushing for promotion - but Collin made it very clear that he wanted to come to Huddersfield Town.
"We wanted to use this transfer window, if possible, to find a number nine with different qualities to the players we already have in the squad and Collin is ideal for this.
"He is a very aggressive striker with power, strength, and a direct style of play, but importantly he has an unbelievable working attitude that will fit the 'Terriers Identity' perfectly.
"He is also improving, as can be seen in his performances for Union Berlin this season. We still think he has lots of space to get better, which is exciting for everyone."
