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."
