Hull City have signed French forward Mohamed-Ali Cho from Ligue 1 side Nice on a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old becomes the Tigers’ 12th signing of the summer as they continue to strengthen following promotion to the Premier League.
The attacker made 93 appearances for Nice, scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists during a two-and-a-half-year spell.
Cho played for England Under-16s before switching allegiance to France, who he has represented at under-21 level.
He also has experience of playing in European competitions, having featured 13 times in the Europa League for Nice and in the Champions League for Spanish side Real Sociedad.
Born in France but raised in England, Cho made his professional debut for Angers aged 16 and became the club’s youngest scorer.
Hull have spent more than £75m since beating Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final, including a club record fee for Senegal defender Nobel Mendy.
They made a dream return to the Premier League, after nine years away, with a first ever top-flight win against Manchester United in their opener.
