“He is a strong, powerful and quick centre-forward, with a real eye for goal and will increase our attacking options in the second half of the season.
“Jürgen already has a prolific goal record with PSV in the Dutch top division, and it is one we hope he can continue here with us in the Premier League.”
Locadia has a total of 45 goals and 34 assists from 82 Eredivisie starts and 45 substitute appearances, and won the Dutch title with PSV in 2015 and 2016 alongside Davy Propper, who signed for Brighton last summer for around £10m.
Locadia is yet to be capped at international level, but has been called up the Netherlands squad three times without making an appearance.
