Brenden Aaronson has been a real coup for Leeds United. On the back of a summer where Leeds shed arguably their two finest players in Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips, it was absolutely pivotal that the Whites got their transfer business right in order to stop the bleeding.
And the Yorkshire club certainly didn’t shy away from splashing the cash in order to fill the holes that had been left behind, as well as furnishing the Jesse Marsch era with as many options as possible.
Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Luis Sinisterra and Rasmus Kristensen all came through the door in an exciting few weeks for Leeds, but it was Aaronson who had fans rubbing their hands together the most.
After all, if there was any manager best equipped to spot the talent of an American midfielder at Red Bull Salzburg, then you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s exactly the man in Leeds’ dugout right now.
