Leeds United players were among those to share a reaction after the club confirmed their 10th summer signing.
It has been a busy window for Leeds following their return to the Premier League, with the club backing Daniel Farke heavily in the market.
Big additions such as Lukas Nmecha, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sean Longstaff have already come through the door as Leeds look to build a squad capable of competing at the top level.
Despite the investment, recent results have been a setback.
The Whites suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Arsenal on 23 August and Leeds were then knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Sheffield Wednesday, with several of their new signings involved from the start.
Even so, the board have continued to show faith in Farke and the project, sealing another addition to strengthen the squad further.

Despite already adding 10 new faces this summer, Farke remains eager to strengthen his attacking options, with Strasbourg winger Dilane Bakwa emerging as a prime target.
Reports suggest Leeds are believed to be ahead in the race for Bakwa, who is also attracting interest from Nottingham Forest.
He enjoyed a strong campaign in Ligue 1 last season, recording six goals and eight assists in 30 appearances as Strasbourg secured a seventh-place finish.
Forest submitted a £21.8million bid for Bakwa earlier this month, but Strasbourg have so far held out for a higher fee.
