Sunderland boss Steve Bruce have finally snap Nicklas Bendtner on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal.
The 23-year-old Danish international has clinched a temporary move to the Stadium of Light after being told he was not part of Arsene Wenger's plans.
The deal re-unites a player and a manager who worked together during their time at Birmingham.
Bruce said: "I've had the privilege of working with Nicklas previously. I had him as an 18 year-old and he helped clinch promotion for Birmingham.
"He's an outstanding talent and is a big, physical presence who will lead the line magnificently for us."
