The 21-year-old American will officially leave Red Bull Salzburg and join Leeds on July 1, just 18 months after leaving MLS side Philadelphia Union to begin his European career. In 66 appearances for the Austrian giants, Aaronson scored 13 goals, including six goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances (all competitions) last season.

Aaronson appeared in eight of Salzburg’s 10 Champions League games last season, including both legs of their round-of-16 defeat to Bayern Munich (8-2 on aggregate). The USMNT youngster registered an assist in each game, playing a part in each of Salzburg’s goals in the lopsided tie.
