Fulham reject chance to hand Premier League return to relegated USMNT ace Brendan Aaronson

Fulham have rejected the chance to bring USMNT star Brenden Aaronson back to the Premier League after the midfielder was relegated with Leeds United.

The 22-year-old arrived at Elland Road to significant fanfare, joining compatriots Tyler Adams and coach Jesse Marsch in Yorkshire but it soon turned into a season to forget for the trio. They would be joined by fellow American Weston McKennie in January but Marsch would soon be relieved of his duties with the Whites facing a relegation dogfight.

Two further managers could not arrest the slide, with Javi Gracia having become the second coaching casualty of the season just four matches from the end of the campaign before Sam Allardyce eventually took them down after failing to win any of his games in charge. In all, Aaaronson contributed a solitary strike in 36 appearances during his maiden term in the English top flight.
