Leeds United have made a blistering start to the summer window with a combined £35million double swoop for Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen - but they haven’t pleased ex-Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson. The duo arrived at Elland Road with Champions League and international experience, and both will improve areas that were exposed to the vulnerabilities of ageing players last season.
The decisive spending is a sign that those in charge at Elland Road have taken lessons from the mistakes of last season, in which a poor summer window with only two senior signings - Junior Firpo and Dan James - laid bare a thin squad and left it open to injuries. They have since been joined by the arrival of Spanish midfielder Marc Roca from Bayern Munich.
But despite this, former Whites stopper and Sky Sports pundit Robinson claimed that neither Aaronson or Kristensen ‘fill you with excitement’ and said they would not soften the blow of selling Kalvin Phillips or Raphinha.
