Burnley have signed Celtic's Reo Hatate for an undisclosed fee from the Scottish Premiership champions.
Hatate has agreed a three-year contract at Turf Moor after spending four-and-a-half years in Glasgow.
The 28-year-old played 191 games and scored 33 goals in his time at Celtic, winning five league titles, two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups.
But his only appearances this season for the Hoops came as a substitute in both legs of their Champions League play-off ties with Austrian champions LASK Linz.
Now Hatate, who has 11 caps for Japan, heads to the Championship to link up with Nicky Hayen's squad.
"This is a great move for me. It's my first time playing in England and it's a fantastic club to be joining," he told the club's website, external.
Hatate's arrival follow other deadline day captures of Brighton defender Igor Julio and Leeds United forward Largie Ramazani.
