Leeds United are really putting their foot down in the transfer window after a quiet number of weeks.
Adam Underwood was tasked by Paraag Marathe and the 49ers Enterprises to step into the shoes of Angus Kinnear, following his departure to Everton.
It has been a solid first summer so far, but it isn’t stopping there.
Anton Stach joined from Hoffenheim earlier in the week, and Lucas Perri has become signing number seven of the window, the Brazilian goalkeeper joining from Lyon.
Alex Lacazette is one of those to have immediately reacted to the latest transfer news from Elland Road.

Upon signing for Leeds, Perri took to his official Instagram page to post a farewell message to Lyon.
The Brazilian was only there for one season, but it was an emotional goodbye after a sensational debut season with the French giants, domestically and in Europe.
Lacazette was quick to reply, simply commenting: “Thank you.”
Lacazette shined in Premier League, Perri is next
The French striker is perhaps best known for his time in the Premier League with Arsenal.
From his poaching instincts to ferocious battles, sometimes crossing the line with his own teammates, there haven’t been many better at the Emirates Stadium.
Perri will no doubt have tapped into his knowledge of English football, albeit likely that he will be fighting at the other end of the Premier League.
The Brazilian will step into the boots of Illan Meslier and Karl Darlow, who both played their part in promotion, but everyone knew that a massive upgrade was immediately needed.
Meslier made far too many mistakes compared to Perri, who outperformed his expected conceded goals massively in Ligue 1 with Lyon.
With two games against Villarreal and AC Milan at Elland Road and Dublin respectively, Perri will be thrown into the deep end infront of a wild crowd.
That will prepare him perfectly to start against Everton in the Premier League opener on August 18.
