Burton Albion have signed striker Jack Cooper-Love from Swedish top-flight side Elfsborg on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old Swede, whose parents are both from England, makes the move to the Pirelli Stadium having started the 2024 Allsvenska season on loan at promoted side GAIS.
He scored seven goals in 13 appearances in the campaign which started in March.
Cooper-Love had been with Elfsborg since the age of 15 and scored two goals in 22 senior appearances in all competitions.
"This felt like a perfect step to make as it looks like it's going to be a great league this season," Cooper-Love told

Cooper-Love's switch to English football comes after a number of loan moves away from Elfsborg, which included a spell with Skovde AIK where he scored 14 goals in 27 games to earn the Swedish second division's young player of the season award.
The forward is Burton's 16th summer signing since the Sweden-based Nordic Football Group's takeover of the League One club in early June.
Cooper-Love's addition comes after attacking midfielder Jack Hazlehurst was signed from non-league club Chorley late on Friday.
