adminLeeds United have made an excellent start to the season in the Premier League, with many of their summer signings quickly settling in. The same cannot be said for some of the players who departed Elland Road during the transfer window.
Tarik Muharemovic has caught everyone around the club by surprise with his impressive displays so far.
Nico Elvedi and James Trafford have also received plenty of praise for their starts to the campaign. It appears the business conducted by the 49ers during the summer is already producing significant results.
The new arrivals came in for players who could not be guaranteed regular first-team football this season.
Lucas Perri, Wilfried Gnonto, Joel Piroe and Largie Ramazani had to depart to create room in the squad.
Leeds United loanee already under pressure at new club after latest comments
Joel Piroe has made a solid beginning with West Ham in the Championship, with the striker finding the net three times in seven appearances.
Largie Ramazani has also registered a goal and an assist in his last two matches for Burnley. Wilfried Gnonto, meanwhile, is yet to find his rhythm at Fiorentina following the appointment of a new manager.
And this week, Lucas Perri is experiencing a challenging start to his time in Turin.
Torino coach Ignazio Abate has called on the Brazilian to improve after another mistake cost his side. Perri played a poor pass that led to Donyell Malen opening the scoring for Roma on Monday night.
Abate said after the match that Perri needs to improve his decision-making.
“He needs to get back to peak form, but he’s a top-notch goalkeeper.” the Torino boss mentioned (quotes via Cuore Toro).
He needs to improve his decision-making, and he’ll improve.
Lucas Perri’s start to life in Italy is worrying
The Brazilian left Elland Road on loan this summer in search of an opportunity to be a first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere. Torino strongly pushed for his signature with the intention of making him their main goalkeeper.
However, his performances in his opening games have been inconsistent.
Although he has produced some excellent displays, there have also been costly moments, including the fumble against Fiorentina and the mistake in the recent Roma fixture.
The Torino coach has praised Perri for the way he has responded to these setbacks so far, but questions will inevitably arise over how long it could be before the goalkeeper is dropped. If the mistakes continue, it may not take too long.
That could also put any potential move for him next summer at risk.
