Edin Dzeko and £85m star hail Leeds United’s Tarik Muharemovic after Augsburg acrobatic strike | OneFootball

Leeds United closed pre-season with a 4-0 win over FC Augsburg at Elland Road, but new signing Tarik Muharemovic’s acrobatic bicycle kick stole the show and drew global attention.

The 23-year-old defender finished amid a goalmouth scramble from captain Ethan Ampadu’s long throw. According to Leedsunited.news, the friendly strike quickly went viral across social media.

On a joint Instagram post by the club and Muharemovic, Edin Dzeko saluted his fellow Bosnian with flag and fire emojis. Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, rated at £85million amid Arsenal interest, added hearts to the clip, then wrote “Brother” with another heart on the defender’s own upload.

Sead Kolasinac posted a star and globe emoji, Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen sent heart-eyes, and Fabrizio Romano called Muharemovic a baller. Skipper Ampadu replied “Wow ok” with clapping emojis, while Leeds team-mates Lukas Nmecha and Jayden Bogle wrote “Born ready” and “Top”.

The reaction adds to the excitement around Muharemovic as Daniel Farke’s side turn to the competitive season. Leeds visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday, 22 August to open the 2026-27 Premier League campaign, and Muharemovic is expected to feature in Farke’s back three.
