Brighton forward Jurgen Locadia has joined Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati on loan until July.
The Seagulls recalled the 26-year-old Dutchman from his loan spell with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim on 31 January.
Cincinnati can sign him permanently after his loan ends on 5 July.
"We are excited to bring in a proven forward to strengthen our attacking abilities," said general manager Gerard Nijkamp.
"He is a talented goalscorer in his prime and we feel adding an impact player of his calibre will be a great addition to our club."
Locadia joined Brighton from PSV Eindhoven for £14m in January 2018 but struggled to hold down a place in the side.
He scored six goals in 43 appearances for the Seagulls before being loaned to Hoffenheim at the start of the season.
The Dutchman added: "I am looking forward to a new opportunity with FC Cincinnati.
"I want to try to help the team build new memories and be an important player for the team."
