Leeds make Lyon goalkeeper Perri seventh signing

After joining Leeds United for the seventh time this summer, goalkeeper Lucas Perri described it as a “dream come true.”

The 27-year-old Brazilian has signed a four-year contract with Elland Road from French side Lyon in a deal worth a reported £15.6 million.

He kept 13 clean sheets in all 45 matches for Lyon last season, helping them qualify for European football by finishing sixth overall.

I began looking for videos of the stadium, the atmosphere, the games, the highlights of the plays, and the matches when I first learned that the interest might actually grow.

“It was a really exciting time for me,” she said. I was extremely pleased that the club showed interest. It was incredible. I’m very, very happy to sign up here.

Perri moved from Sao Paulo to Botafogo and Lyon before beginning his career there.

His nation’s under-20 and under-23 caps are for him.

With seven games left, Frenchman Illan Meslier lost his place in Karl Darlow with a series of errors, who had been at the top of the table for the majority of the previous season when Leeds won the Championship.
