Brenden Aaronson’s focus will be on international glory at present. The Leeds United midfielder has been included in the USA squad for next week’s CONCACAF Nations League finals and he’ll be dreaming of getting his hands on silverware after a rough debut season in the Premier League.
The Americans face Mexico in the semi-final in Las Vegas, with the winner progressing to face either Panama or Canada in the final of the competition, in a similar fashion to the UEFA equivalent. Just a few days after that final, USA will kick off their defence of the Gold Cup against Jamaica in Chicago.
Aaronson can expect to be involved in that and he won’t be thinking about much beyond the Gold Cup final on July 16 in Los Angeles. While the 22-year-old is away on international duty, though, there has already been speculation regarding his future in West Yorkshire.
