Dundee United have signed Cameroon midfielder Jeando Fuchs from Alaves.
The 22-year-old, who has two caps for Cameroon, signed for Alaves in 2019 from Sochaux but was sent out on loan to Maccabi Haifa last season.
He had previously made over 100 appearances for Sochaux before moving to La Liga.
Fuchs will need to quarantine for two weeks, so will not be available until after the international break.
He represented France at U19 and U20 level, and was part of the European U19 Championship-winning side in 2016 where he starred alongside Kylian Mbappe, but chose to represent Cameroon at senior level, making his debut against Brazil in November 2018.
Dundee United manager Micky Mellon said: "I'm excited that Jeando has finally signed. He is someone that will make our team better and that is the type of signings we need to be making.
"He is experienced even at a young age and from speaking to him he is hungry to do well for United.
"He has arrived with his partner and newborn baby and we will make them all welcome and, hopefully, once he is out of quarantine we will see him playing and be part of the United family."
