Brenden Aaronson reflects on 'whirlwind' start to life at Leeds United and Premier League doubts

Leeds United playmaker Brenden Aaronson says he's had a 'whirlwind' start to life at Elland Road and admits he had doubts over whether he'd be able to cut it in the Premier League. The 21-year-old has made an impressive start to life in the top flight of English football, quickly squashing these doubts.

A solid outing against Chelsea in just his second outing at Elland Road saw him open the scoring as Jesse Marsch's side ran riot against Thomas Tuchel's once Champions League winners. The United States international took advantage of Edouard Mendy's lapse in concentration to rob the Blues' goalkeeper and tap the ball into an empty net.

The 21-year-old's high pressing and willing runs have seen him quickly build up a rapport with the Leeds fanbase with a new song made in his honour after just six games.
