Tarik Muharemovic scores for Bosnia then meets Khamzat Chimaev | OneFootball

Tarik Muharemovic delivered for Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday, then enjoyed a crossover with UFC star Khamzat Chimaev shortly after.

According to Leedsunited.news, the Leeds United defender, 23, posted an Instagram photo with Chimaev alongside teammates including Sead Kolasinac in a hotel lobby.

Earlier that night in Bucharest, the centre-back headed in from a corner in the 19th minute to make it 2-0.

It was his second senior goal as Sergej Barbarez’s side beat Romania 4-2 for three UEFA Nations League points.

Muharemovic topped all players for defensive output with 17 actions, including nine clearances, four interceptions and two blocks across a dominant 90 minutes.

He follows Chimaev on Instagram, so the meeting will have felt like a fanboy moment, and is sure to spark chatter among Leeds supporters who track MMA.

Daniel Farke will be more heartened by the form itself. With Pascal Struijk having left for Brighton and Leeds building momentum in the Premier League, their summer defensive signing has settled quickly and eased concerns at the back.

At £34million, Muharemovic already looks an incredible piece of business for the Whites. If he can maintain this level through the season, he could be in the frame for Leeds’ player of the season.
