Brentford have announced the signing of Ollie Watkins from Exeter for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old forward has signed a four-year contract with the Sky Bet Championship club, with the transfer fee being a record received by Exeter.
Watkins came through the Grecians' academy and scored 21 goals in 68 league appearances for the first team.
Watkins told his old club's website: "Players always want to test themselves at the highest level they can. That is the aim.
"I want to play at the highest level I can for as long as I can and Brentford have given me that opportunity and I am very grateful to them for that."
Brentford manager Dean Smith told the Bees' website: "We believe that Ollie is a player with an awful lot of potential. There is more development to come and we believe we can bring that out of him."
