Leeds United go into the November break in eighth place after a wonderful start to the season, and Gary Lineker has picked out one Leeds player for praise on Monday.

After 10 Premier League games, Leeds have amassed an impressive 14 points, losing only twice, with one of those defeats coming against Arsenal at The Emirates. The other was an in-form Bournemouth away.

Daniel Farke has made Leeds hard to beat, and while the Whites could do with scoring a few more goals, Leeds look much more likely to finish in mid-table than be dragged into a relegation battle this season.

A lot of that has to do with the work done in the summer. Leeds made some super signings, so much so that Harry Wilson is struggling to start and Joe Rodon may have to wait for a start after his injury.

Gary Lineker picks out Tarik Muharemovic for huge praise

The Rest Is Football panel were discussing the best signing of the season on Monday, after another week of Premier League football. They named their signings of the season, with Gary Lineker naming a few.

Lineker named £34m arrival Tarik Muharemovic as one of his signings of the season, even ahead of Elliot Anderson at Man City, Jeremy Jacquet at Liverpool. Indeed, Lineker believes he’s on a par with Ezri Konsa.

“I just want to say Ezri Konsa, possibly signing of the season. If not, Muharemovic has done really well at Leeds,” Lineker explained, on the latest episode of The Rest Is Football. [Nicolas] Jackson, of course.

“He’s banging them in. Elliot Anderson, even though they’ve lost the last three, has been terrific. Morgan Rogers, [Jeremy] Jacquet at Liverpool looks impressive, or even the Villa goalkeeper [Zion] Suzuki.”

Where does Tarik Muharemovic rank in terms of the stats?

FotMob currently have Muharemovic as the 34th-best player in the Premier League, with the rating given based off the stats. Indeed, the Bosnia international has an average rating of 7.38 so far. Very impressive.

However, James Trafford has a better rating despite his mistake against Bournemouth, sitting in 18th with 7.51. Indeed, Trafford and Muharemovic are currently ranked the two best Leeds players in the League.

Among new signings, Chelsea star Morgan Rogers boasts the best rating of 7.58, while Jan Paul van Hecke, Anderson, John Manzambi, Trafford and Jackson are currently in front of the Leeds defender.

The eyes of the Premier League world are taking note, and beyond. Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are all keen, with Leeds slapping a £60m price tag on his head.
