Norwich City have signed Tunisia midfielder Anis Ben Slimane from Sheffield United on a season-long loan.
The deal includes an option to buy the 23-year-old, who joined the Blades from Danish club Brondby last summer for an undisclosed fee.
He was a 70th-minute substitute when United drew 0-0 at Carrow Road last Saturday.
"We feel he is another really good addition that will increase the competition within our group and give us more options and flexibility," said Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper, external.
"He adds a slightly different profile than what we have already, and can draw upon experience of both the Premier League and international football."
Slimane was previously coached by City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup when he was in the academy squad at Danish club Akademisk Boldklub.
"I know the manager pretty well and I've been told a lot of good things about the club, fans, training facilities. I'm just really looking forward to getting started," he said.
Norwich are away to Coventry City on Saturday.
