26 July 2025 21:40, UK <\/p>\n<p><strong>Leeds United are really putting their foot down in the transfer window after a quiet number of weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adam Underwood was tasked by Paraag Marathe and the 49ers Enterprises to step into the shoes of <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/opinion\/angus-kinnear-to-deliver-sensational-leeds-parting-gift-for-daniel-farke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angus Kinnear, following his departure to Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a solid first summer so far, but it isn\u2019t stopping there.<\/p>\n<p>Anton Stach joined from Hoffenheim earlier in the week, and <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/leeds-united-to-announce-another-new-transfer-after-lucas-perri-latest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lucas Perri has become signing number seven of the window, the Brazilian goalkeeper joining from Lyon.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alex Lacazette is one of those to have immediately reacted to the latest transfer news from Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

officially signed for Leeds (Credit: Imago)Lacazette sends message after Leeds transfer news<\/p>\n<p>Upon signing for Leeds, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/lucas-perri\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Perri<\/a> took to his official Instagram page to post a farewell message to Lyon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Lacazette was quick to reply, simply commenting: \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lacazette shined in Premier League, Perri is next<\/p>\n<p>The French striker is perhaps best known for his time in the Premier League with Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>From his poaching instincts to ferocious battles, sometimes crossing the line with his own teammates, there haven\u2019t been many better at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tactics\/lucas-perri-v-illan-meslier-how-does-leeds-star-compare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Brazilian will step into the boots of Illan Meslier<\/a> and Karl Darlow, who both played their part in promotion, but everyone knew that a massive upgrade was immediately needed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/exclusives\/illan-meslier-exit-now-cemented-after-leeds-transfer-agreement-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meslier made far too many mistakes compared to Perri<\/a>, who outperformed his expected conceded goals massively in Ligue 1 with Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>That will prepare him perfectly to start against Everton in the Premier League opener on August 18.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the <a
