Republic of Ireland striker Scott Hogan has joined Birmingham City on loan from their rivals Aston Villa until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old, who joined Villa for £12m from Brentford in 2017, has been recalled from his spell at Stoke to make the move to the Blues.
Birmingham are currently struggling in the Championship and sit 18th in England's second flight.
Hogan scored three goals in his 16 games with the Potters but fell out of favour after Michael O'Neill's appointment as manager.
He'll be hoping to get minutes and goals at Saint Andrew's in a bid to impress the Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy ahead of the Euro 2020 playoff with Slovakia in March.
