Tarik Muharemovic has been sensational since signing for Leeds United.

The towering defender signed from Sassuolo for £34million, and has already started to repay the 49ers Enterprises.

Muharemovic was also wanted by Arsenal, but chose Daniel Farke and the Whites, falling in love at Elland Road.

His stunning start to the season continued on international duty, too.

Bosnia started their UEFA Nations League campaign away at Poland on Friday, leaving with a reputable 0-0 draw.

Muharemovic was up against Robert Lewandowski, but still managed to keep his clean sheet in tact.

It's his second shut-out in a row after Leeds finished their first block of fixtures with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.

How did Bosnian media react to Tarik Muharemovic?

It's a familiar theme to see everybody showering the defender in praise now.

One of the biggest compliments you can give Muharemovic is that Leeds fans have somewhat forgotten Pascal Struijk already.

And his stock is only rising.

Bosnian Football on X, following all things from the country with over 20,000 followers, kept things simple to call him a brick wall.

Radio Sarajevo simply called Muharemovic "one of the best representatives" of the entire country in the draw.

That isn't small praise for the defender, whose stock is only rising.

What did Muharemovic tell the media?

It was a mood of gratefulness around the Bosnian squad in Warsaw.

After qualifying for the World Cup and shining there, there has been an influx of Bosnian players sealing their next big move.

Kerim Alajbegovic joined Juventus over Chelsea, while Amar Dedic following Muharemovic to the Premier League with Newcastle.

One of their unknown players would likely be goalkeeper Martin Zlomislic, who plays for Qarabag in Azerbaijan, yet Muharemovic didn't forget.

Speaking to Vijesti after the game, the defender admitted that the goalkeeper saved his country.

Either way, Muharemovic is flying right now and everything he touches appears to turn to gold.

It's great, but also bad for Leeds, as you can't imagine him sticking around for long in LS11 on this current trajectory.

He will earn them a huge fortune, though.

That's the sad state of football right now, if someone is that good, you simply can't enjoy them for too long.
