‘Remain very keen’ - On-air claim emerges on Leeds' pursuit of target compared to UCL final hero
RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson is a player that Leeds United remain ‘very keen’ on signing, according to reporter Tim Thornton.
The Whites have seen the 21-year-old as a primary transfer target throughout the January transfer window, with various bids tabled for him.
His current club have continued to dig their heels in, though, seeing him as an important player during their current Champions League run. Aaronson has scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 51 appearances for the Austrian club.
Speaking live on Sky Sports News on deadline day, Thornton claimed that a January move is out of the question, although Leeds ‘still remain very keen’ on signing him in the summer:
