Tarik Muharemovic has swiftly settled at Leeds United, his form already attracting heavyweight European attention. Leeds are unlikely to mind, given his impact across five Premier League games.

International-break chatter has gathered pace and, according to Leeds Live, Barcelona, Inter Milan and former club Juventus have been tentatively linked. There is even a suggestion Juventus could explore a January move.

Leeds view such noise as a by-product of success and remain confident in their trajectory and recruitment. Muharemovic is tied to a five-year deal at Elland Road.

Any January exit appears highly unlikely at this stage, short of an extraordinary offer. The expectation is that he is in for the long haul.

The 23-year-old Bosnia international centre-back, a summer arrival from Sassuolo, has anchored the meanest defence so far in the Premier League. He has also forged a quick bond with supporters.

If his form holds, speculation will persist, but the club back their pull as a team of stature in England. Early signs suggest Leeds have completed a terrific piece of business.
