Borussia Dortmund have signed Paco Alcacer from Barcelona, agreeing a deal to keep him at the club until 2023.
The 25-year-old, who moved to Dortmund on a season-long loan in the summer, has put pen to paper on a contract through to 30 June 2023.
Alcacer struggled to make an impact during his two-season stint with Barcelona, but has made a blistering start to his Dortmund career.
The former Valencia and Getafe man set a new Bundesliga record by bringing up his eighth goal in just 218 minutes on the pitch against Bayern Munich on Matchday 11, and is currently averaging a goal every 29 minutes.
Alcacer's rich vein of form earned him his first call-up to the Spain national team in almost two years.
His purple patch continued as he started the 11 October friendly against Wales, scoring twice. The goals were his first for his country since he netted twice against Luxembourg in September 2015.
It's a good news for both the player and Dortmund as both would reap the faith they placed on them on each other with Alcacer revitalizing his career in Germany and Dortmund gambling on a player rejected by Barcelona.
