Dutch midfielder Kemy Agustien plans to help Birmingham City make an immediate return to the Premier League after completing his season-long loan switch to St Andrew's from AZ Alkmaar.
The Blues have the option of buying the 21-year-old on a permanent basis next summer in a deal that could eventually rise to 2.75million Euros.
Agustien, who featured in 29 games for Alkmaar last term, told City's official website: "I'd wanted to leave AZ and my agent said that Birmingham wanted me.
"I told him that Birmingham seems like a good club and they've spent most of the recent years in the Premier League, so why not?
"For me it's an opportunity to become a champion in this division and get a promotion to the Premier League."
