"It has always been a dream to play in the Premier League
and now that dream has come true, so I'm absolutely
delighted.
"I am looking forward to helping the club get some wins and
climb the table."
Steve McClaren whose side have struggled for goals this
season, managing 25 in 23 Premier League games, said he
was pleased to have strengthened his attack.
"It is no secret that we have been looking to add to our
options in the striking area," he explained.
"We have been searching for a forward and were delighted
when the opportunity arose to take Seydou on loan.
"He is a natural goalscorer, someone who has scored goals
in the Champions League and has played at the highest
level. We believe he can make a mark in this team."
