Chiellini guidance to Leeds 'rock' - could Muharemovic be signing of season?

"He did a tackle right in front of the South Stand and the whole place erupted. I was thinking, 'you're going to go down well with this club'."

Former Leeds United boss Simon Grayson is reflecting on the moment new signing Tarik Muharemovic endeared himself to fans on his debut in a friendly against RB Leipzig at Elland Road in July.

The 23-year-old defender had just become Leeds' most expensive defender following a £34.1m move from Italian side Sassuolo, replacing the long-serving Pascal Struijk, who joined Brighton for £20m.

At the time, some supporters questioned the fee for a player with only one season under his belt in Europe's top leagues.
