El Arbi Hillel Soudani has spurned interest from Premier League duo to join Dinamo Zagreb has spurned interest from Sunderland and Celtic to join Dinamo Zagreb.
The 25-year-old has joined the Croatian champions on a three-year deal following an impressive two-year stint at Vitoria Guimaraes.
Soudani, who has scored seven times for his national side Algeria, spent five years with his hometown club ASO Chlef, winning one league title, before leaving for Portugal in 2011.
He hit 13 league goals during his two seasons at Vitoria, as well as grabbing their opening goal during their shock 2-1 Portuguese Cup final triumph against Benfica last weekend.
And the striker is believed to have turned down tentative approaches from both Sunderland and Celtic to complete a switch to the Croatian capital.
