Birmingham City have broken the League One transfer record to sign striker Jay Stansfield from Fulham for more than £15m.
Birmingham had already broken the League One incoming transfer record twice in this transfer window before completing the deal to sign Stansfield.
Sky Sports News understands it is an initial £15m, but sources in Birmingham say it is less.
Christoph Klarer and Willum Thor Willumsson were both signed for fees in the region of £3.5m, but the Stansfield transfer smashes both of those numbers.
