Why under-rated Nico Elvedi is Leeds United's best summer signing

Elvedi has impressed since joining Leeds for £8.5m from Borussia Mönchengladbach, matching the impact of higher-profile signing Muharemovic.

Leeds United signed centre-back Nico Elvedi from Borussia Mönchengladbach for £8.5m in the summer, securing him one year before his contract expired. The former Bundesliga regular, who has over 300 league appearances and Champions League experience, has adapted well to the Premier League style and earned the trust of manager Daniel Farke as a regular starter.

While defensive partner Tarik Muharemovic, who arrived from Sassuolo for £34m, has attracted more attention for his early performances, Elvedi has been equally impressive. The Switzerland international, who has featured in six international tournaments, was a long-term target for Farke and has justified the pursuit with his displays so far.

Meanwhile, centre-back Jaka Bijol, who impressed last season, has fallen down the pecking order following Joe Rodon's return from injury, raising questions about his future at Elland Road.
