Barisic, a left-back, boasts some exceptional set-piece taking stats.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjliNDY1ZDdiLWEzZWEtNGFhZC04NDE1LWUyNTg3ZTk1MGZhYjozMGE1Y2IyZC01NTVhLTQ1NjYtOTFlMS02MWU2OTFjMTk0NzE=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)

![This really is a top-heavy transfer window. Dyche, presumably now having adopted a radically different footballing philosophy, bags the Hammers striker despite his underwhelming 2020/21 season.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjY2YjI2YmIxLTM1NTMtNDlkMi1hNzliLWZmMDI1MzE3NmIxYjpiYTNmNmRjOS01ZmU2LTRlODctYTVmYS0zMmU0ZjJlZTA1NDI=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)

![A bit of bargain, considering he's worth double what the Whites paid for him. The ex-Barcelona prospect will add some serious grit to the Leeds midfield.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjM4NmY5ZDI2LWUzZTQtNDk1Mi04NDE3LWVjMDM1MDFhM2VhZDpjOTkyODg2Zi04NDY0LTRjMTgtOGU5ZS04NjllY2E2NWE0MGQ=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)

![It's an awful lot to pay for a 17-year-old, but he's been tipped as a future star.
