Lazio have signed Argentine striker Valentin Castellanos from Major League Soccer team New York City FC, the Serie A club announced on Friday.
Lazio did not give any details but Italian media said he had joined on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of about €15 million plus five million in add-ons.
Castellanos spent last season on loan at Spanish LaLiga side Girona, where he netted 14 goals in 37 matches.
The 24-year-old hit the headlines when he scored four goals against Real Madrid in a 4-2 victory in April - the first player in 75 years to achieve such a feat against them in LaLiga.
Lazio finished second to claim a Champions League spot.
