Tarik Muharemovic has wasted no time settling into life in the Premier League and his new home at Leeds United.
The Bosnian international has been a key figure in helping the Whites boast the meanest defensive record in the league so far this season, but he's playing a part going forward too with his passing and getting on the scoresheet.
Without hyperbole, he's looked the complete player in his early weeks and those who knew little of him before his move to Elland Road certainly know all they need to right now about the quality addition the club made when signing him from Sassuolo in the summer.

Former Leeds United player and manager Simon Grayson needed only one look in pre-season to know the club had a real talent on their hands, and all it took was one tackle in a friendly at Elland Road to convince him further the centre-back was going to be a big hit with the Leeds faithful.
"James Trafford was obviously well renowned and everyone knew what he was going to be like, but for me Muharemovic has been exceptional," Grayson told Leeds Live when asked for his early season standout.
"When I watched him in the first game in pre-season I though, 'this kid is a proper player'. He can pass the ball well and hits big diagonals. He can pass the ball through the lines and he is a danger in both boxes. And he loves a tackle.
"I remember watching the Leipzig game and he did a tackle right in front of the south stand and the whole place erupted. I was thinking then, 'you're going to go down well with this football club'. He's definitely been the one, but they have all settled in really quickly."
