Brentford have announced the signing of winger Yoane Wissa from Ligue 1 side Lorient for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old Democratic Republic of the Congo international has agreed a four-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
Brentford head coach Thomas Frank is delighted to make Wissa his ninth summer signing.
"Wissa is someone who fits many different positions for us," Frank told the club's official website. "He can play as a winger, as a number 10, and as a striker.

"He has that pace and power which we think is really important to be a threat in behind. He has good ability to take on players and create overloads.
"He is a very good character as well; everyone knows that it is very important for our culture that we only get good characters in. He is very keen to come in and help the team and we are very keen to get him in."
Wissa, who has also previously played for Angers, Stade Lavellois and Ajaccio, has produced 57 goals and 25 assists in 192 domestic appearances.
He earned his first international cap with DR Congo last October and netted in only his second outing for his country against Morocco.
