Manchester United have signed Bulgaria striker Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham in a deal worth £30.75m.
The deal sees Fraizer Campbell going the other way on a season long loan.
Spurs also announced they will not pursue their official complaint to the Premier League which accused United of pursuing 27-year-old Berbatov.
"Joining United is a dream come true for me - I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours," he told the club website.
Old Trafford manager Sir Alex Ferguson added: "This is a key signing. Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football.
"His style and ability will give the team a different dimension and I'm sure he will be a popular player with the fans."
The capture ends a summer-long saga that took a dramatic twist on transfer deadline day.
Earlier on Monday, it appeared rivals Manchester City were going to shatter United's hopes after they had a bid of more than £30m accepted by Spurs.
