Hull City have completed the signing of Alfred N'Diaye on loan from Villarreal until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old midfielder has previous experience of the Premier League having spent six months with Sunderland in 2013 before leaving to join Real Betis.
N'Diaye joined Villarreal on a five-year deal last summer, but has made just one La Liga start and 13 appearances overall this season.
The Senegal international, who has eight caps for his country, will now spend the remainder of the 2016-17 campaign at the KCOM Stadium as Hull battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
N'Diaye, who is handed the number 10 shirt vacated by Robert Snodgrass earlier this month, becomes Hull's second deadline day loan signing following the arrival of Andrea Ranocchia from Inter Milan.
