Aston Villa have signed Egypt international Mahmoud Hassan, better known by his nickname 'Trezeguet', from Turkish side Kasimpasa, the newly promoted Premier League side said on Wednesday.
Villa did not disclose financial details of the deal, but the BBC reported they had paid $10.90m for the winger.
The 24-year-old started his career with Egyptian side Al Ahly and had a stint at Anderlecht in Belgium before moving to Turkey.
He played for Egypt at last year's Fifa World Cup in Russia and at this year's Africa Cup of Nations, where he scored one goal in four appearances.
