Lucas Perri said it was "a dream come true" after completing his move to Leeds United from Lyon.

The goalkeeper has become Leeds' seventh signing of the current window, having put pen to paper on a four-year contract, with Leeds reportedly paying Lyon £15.6m (€18m).

Perri, who made 45 appearances in all competitions last season, joins the likes of Sean Longstaff, Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol in making the move to Elland Road.

The 27-year-old will provide competition for Illan Meslier and Karl Darlow between the sticks for Daniel Farke's side upon their return to the Premier League.

"It is incredible. It is a dream come true," he said. 

"When I first heard that the interest could get something serious and actually happen, I started to look for videos of the stadium, the atmosphere, the games, the highlights of the plays and the matches.

"It was a really exciting moment for me. I was really, really glad that the club showed interest. It was incredible. To sign here I am very, very happy."
