West Brom have completed the signing of Welsh international striker Robert Earnshaw for a club record £3m from Cardiff.
The Baggies have agreed terms with the 23-year-old, who has signed a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year.
Earnshaw had also been attracting interest from Celtic and Everton, but has agreed to join Gary Megson's side after they missed out on Aruna Dindane and Sylvain Wiltord.
Cardiff could receive an extra £625,000 depending on West Brom's success in the Premiership.
THOMAS Gaardsoe watched Zoltan Gera make an impressive full debut in last night's (Wednesday) 1-1 draw against Tottenham and then insisted: "He's got a bright Hawthorns future."
The Hungary skipper made himself an instant favourite with the Albion hordes by firing Gary Megson's men into a third-minute lead with only his second touch of the game.
And the £1.5 million summer signing continued to royally entertain a capacity home crowd with a gymnastic goal celebration which led to a chorus of 'Gera, Gera' ringing around the Black Country venue.
Gaardsoe said: "Zoltan showed us what he is capable of on Sunday and he continued yesterday, he looked fresh and sharp.
"He has some great ideas and made a big contribution.
"Scoring was great for him as well and you can see he's a really good player because of the way he treats the ball and the way he passes it around - he's a clever player and he'll be good for us."
