Saint Etienne striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang moved to Champions League finalist Borussia Dortmund until 2018, both clubs announced on Thursday.
The Gabon international is the second new arrival of the transfer period to reinforce the Germans with immediate effect.
"We are delighted that we were able to sign our desired player. He is a versatile player with enormous speed and is dangerous in front of the goal," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said via the clubs official homepage
Aubameyang started his professional career at A.C. Milan in 2008 where he was loaned out to French teams most of the time. The 24-year-old striker finally settled for AS Saint Etienne in 2011 to score 39 goals in 101 appearances.
However, both sides agreed to maintain silence over further contract details.
Dortmund completed the last season on second position behind Bayern to ensure a berth at the UEFA Champions League.
