Steven Fletcher has signed for Sheffield Wednesday on a four-year contract following his release by Sunderland.
Fletcher, 29, cost the Black Cats £12m when he arrived from Wolves in 2012 and scored 23 goals in 108 appearances for the club.
However, he fell out of favour last season and spent the latter half of the campaign on loan at Marseille in Ligue 1, registering two goals in 12 league appearances.
Scotland international Fletcher had also been a target for Norwich but the Owls have won the race for his signature.
A club statement read: "Sheffield Wednesday have signed international striker Steven Fletcher.
