Leeds United have signed two players, Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic, this summer as they seek to build on last season’s 14th-place finish in the Premier League.
The Whites snapped up Wilson on a free transfer after convincing the 29-year-old Welshman to ignore interest from other Premier League and European clubs.
Leeds believe they have also pulled off a coup by signing Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo, after fending off interest from clubs in European competition.
Muharemovic will solve a major headache for Daniel Farke, who wanted to bring in a commanding centre-back to replace Pascal Struijk in his team next season.

Leeds United transfer fee confirmed
The 49ers are showing real ambition in the market this summer and are keen to back Daniel Farke after he kept Leeds in the Premier League last season.
They have made an ambitious move to sign Julian Brandt this summer and are waiting to get involved in the race for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.
Leeds are said to have paid a fee of ÂŁ34m for Tarik Muharemovic, which would make him the second most expensive signing in the club’s history.
However, the real figure Leeds have paid for the defender has been confirmed following a statement from Juventus.
The Serie A giants owed half the price Sassuolo got for the defender, and they have confirmed the financial figures.
In an official statement, the Bianconeri confirmed they received around ÂŁ14.9m from the deal. Leeds, meanwhile, have effectively paid ÂŁ29.7m for the defender, almost double the amount Juventus banked from the transfer.
The Serie A giants didn’t anticipate the amount of money they would be receiving from the defender’s transfer this summer.
They were left surprised by the money Leeds offered to Sassuolo for Muharemovic in the ongoing window.

Leeds need one more centre-back after Tarik Muharemovic
Tarik Muharemovic’s arrival gives Daniel Farke the centre-back he needed to replace Pascal Struijk, but Leeds United are not expected to stop there.
The Whites remain in the market for another defender before the transfer window closes, with further changes at the back still on the cards.
Sebastiaan Bornauw is expected to push for a move after finding opportunities hard to come by during his first season at Elland Road.
The Belgian has attracted interest from clubs in Germany, and Leeds want to have a replacement lined up before sanctioning his departure later this summer.
