Barnsley have confirmed the signing of Blues striker Kieffer Moore on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Moore, 25, is understood to have cost the Tykes a fee of £750,000 and will be paid nearly £10,000 a week at Oakwell, almost certainly more than three times his wage at Portman Road.
Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom told his club's official site: "Kieffer is an excellent addition to the side and we’re really pleased to bring him here. It’s a deal that the club has worked hard on and got done quickly, so I’m delighted with that.
"He’s a player in top form and will bring something different to improve the side. We were after a player of his qualities, who can offer something different and improve the starting XI.
"His height will trouble defenders and cause problems, but as a player he’s got much more in his locker and will score different types of goals.
"Kieffer has already been in the local area and knows South Yorkshire now, so I expect him to settle quickly and work hard to get into our team.”

The Blues signed Moore for £20,000 from Forest Green Rovers last January and he made 11 sub appearances without scoring.
The 6ft 5in tall Torquay-born frontman joined League One Rotherham in the summer and scored 13 goals while at the New York Stadium before being recalled at the start of the year with a number of mainly third tier sides keen on signing him on a permanent basis, in addition to the Millers and his new club.
