Brenden Aaronson reckons signing for Leeds United will help him take his game to the next level ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year. Aaronson joined the Whites last week from Red Bull Salzburg for £25m, signing a five-year-deal at Elland Road.
He previously worked with Leeds boss Jesse Marsch at Salzburg, before the latter moved on to the Austrian sides sister club RB Leipzig. Leeds will hope that the American international can add some attacking impetus to their frontline which looked toothless at times during their Premier League run in.
But while Leeds' season is over, Aaronson's is still going, with the 21-year-old set to play a part in the USA's June internationals against Morocco, Uruguay, Grenada and El Salvador. Despite his youth, the midfielder has already picked up 18 international caps, scoring five goals for the USA.
