Hull City boss Steve Bruce admits he'd been following Dame N'Doye since his days with FC Copenhagen.
The former Lokomotiv Moscow has scored twice in his first two games for the Tigers.
"We needed something if (Nikica) Jelavic broke down, and Dame N'Doye I first saw in Denmark in the Champions League," he told BBC Sport.
"We had to work extremely hard to get him but he has now got two in two games, and that could just be the difference."
