Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Belgian international midfielder Geoffrey Mujangi Bia from Charleroi on loan until the end of the season.
Wolves have the option to sign Mujangi on a permanent basis if he impresses over the course of the next few months.
And manager Mick McCarthy believes the talented 20-year-old will be a good addition to the squad.
"We've very pleased to have signed Geoffrey," McCarthy said.
"He's a player who Taff [assistant manager Ian Evans] has been tracking for a while and will add some creativity and firepower to our squad.
"He's an attacking midfielder who can play on the right or the left, as well as centrally."
Mujangi, who will wear the number 25 shirt at Molineux, could be in line for his debut in this Saturday's FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace, providing Wolves receive international clearance in time.
And the Belgian said he is "very happy to have signed".
"I've played in England once before with Belgium under-21s and it's been my dream to play in the Premier League," he said.
"It was good to meet the manager this week and I'm looking forward to playing for him."
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey said Mujangi has "excellent credentials" and "enormous potential", billing him as "one of [Belgium's] most talented young players".
Moxey also refused to rule out further new signings for the club before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
"This has been a difficult transfer window so far but we hope at least one or maybe two players will follow this signing," he added.
Mujangi has six caps for the Belgian under-21 team, scoring two goals. He has since graduated to the senior squad and has two caps to his name so far.
