Charlton Athletic manager Alan Pardew has made the France Under-21 captain Yassin Moutaouakil his fourth summer signing.
The 20-year-old moves to The Valley on a four-year deal, and Pardew is delighted with his latest acquisition.
"We have very high hopes for him," he told the Addicks' official website. "He's a player that a number of clubs were very interested in and we're naturally very pleased he's chosen Charlton.
"He brings exactly the qualities we're going to need in the Championship next season. He's a very honest player who wants to succeed and he has plenty of hunger.
"He's a player I've been aware of for some seven months now and he's going to be a great addition to our squad for next year."
Moutaouakil has spent the last two seasons with Chateauroux, making 29 appearances for the second tier French side.
