Harry Redknapp believes Leeds United have 'picked up a cracker' in summer transfer window

Harry Redknapp has included Leeds United duo Illan Meslier and Brenden Aaronson in his Premier League team of the week following the first round of fixtures of the new season.

Both players impressed in the Whites' 2-1 victory over Wolves at Elland Road, with Meslier making some vital saves, and Aaronson catching the eye on his debut, although he was cruelly denied a first goal for the club.

Redknapp's team of the opening weekend included big names including Chelsea's N'Golo Kante and Leeds-born Erling Haaland, but the Whites were still represented in his squad. The 75-year-old labelled Meslier's performance as 'solid' and thinks Leeds have signed 'a cracker' in the form of Aaronson.
