Who's the last striker that moved from the champ/league one to a top half team in prem and did well?

They both got promoted with their respective clubs though, I'm talking players who are tearing it up in the champ making the jump. It doesn't happen often at all. At a push you could actually say Beckford is close, he had a good season.
Ok lets look at the top strikers in the premiership and where they come from
Boney, (foreign)
Sturridge (English, chelsea )
Michu (Spanish, foreign)
Giroud (French, Foreign)
Lukaku (Belgium, Foreign)
Benteke (Belgium, Foreign)
Negredo (Spanish, Foreign)
Suarez (Foreign, S.American)
RVP (Forigen)
Rooney English, Everton
We need our own striker star
Did Benteke have his one and only good season? I wouldn't class him a top striker until he repeats the feats of last year again. He's looking like another Jelavic and Cisse, they have been found out and cannot adapt.
Hadn't he had injuries and still stuffering
Not sure mate, I don't follow Villa that close but he doesn't look the same player this season for whatever reason. Clubs always jump onto one season wonders, i would prefer somebody more established to splash the cash on but obviously no amount of money can guarantee a goal return.
Look at Soldado who cost 30 million, he had a good record behind him and with that amount of money, you believe you are buying a scroing machine, City got Negredo who seems to be settling in but is this due to better players around him. Lukaku seems to be the real deal and i would love us to sign him up or get rooney back home.
Jordan Rhodes is a goalscorer pure and simple. No pace to speak of but would probably fit into our team with little difficulty. Said for a while that he is good enough for the Prem. Whether or not he would improve the team remains to be seen especially if we do harbour ambitions to be a genuine top4 team.
