Only Jack Harrison has played more minutes than Brenden Aaronson in Leeds United’s front four since Javi Gracia arrived. The American may only have one goal and three assists from 29 Premier League appearances, but he has become an example for others to follow in Gracia’s eyes.
Aaronson ended a 15-match goal-involvement drought at the weekend. The 22-year-old delivered the perfect corner onto Patrick Bamford’s head for what proved to be United’s consolation on Sunday.
Assists may not be enough to sate the midfielder’s thirst, however. Attacking returns may have eluded Aaronson for long spells of this season and seen others jump ahead him in the pecking order, but he has been a mainstay since Gracia came in.
