'Big outlay' on 'unproven' Muharemovic - fan views on deal for defender

We asked for your views on the news Leeds United have agreed a £34.1m fee with Italian club Sassuolo for defender Tarik Muharemovic.

Here are some of your comments:

Dan: I trust the club and their recruitment, but this is a big outlay on an unproven player, especially when we're in desperate need of a goalkeeper and a striker.

Mark: If Tarik Muharemovic is Premier League quality, and better than Pascal Struijk - and at this stage it's impossible to know - then he's what we need! A goalkeeper and a decent striker are surely massive priorities now.

Darren: Don't know anything about him, but I've said many times that it's vital to sign players with Premier League experience when you're trying to establish yourself in the league. We made the mistake last time of signing cheap unknowns. It's a gamble and we're just not in a position to take gambles!

Ahmad: He has the right profile but the price is a bit steep.

John: I was gutted Pascal Struijk was sold, I really liked the 'team' identity with him. Seemed a great person and a top defender. New bloke, don't know much, but has a fair bit of positive views on abilities - plus another tall boy - so hopefully fits into the type the boss wants and offers decent footwork from the back. Let's get him signed before another club swoops in. MOT.

Noel: Clearly we needed to replace Pascal Struijk and, although I have only seen him play at the World Cup, hopefully Leeds already had him on the scouting radar and he will fit. Now, we need to cover the losses of Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier, plus another striker! Hope we have some cash left.
