Brenden Aaronson is set to be Leeds United's first signing of the summer after the Whites secured a third season in the Premier League after a dramatic final day at Brentford. Victor Orta made multiple bids for the American in January but RB Salzburg were determined not to let him leave ahead of the Champions League knockout-tie against Bayern Munich, where he picked up an assist in the first-leg.
However, the Athletic have reported a £22million offer has now been accepted by Salzburg. That means Jesse Marsch has the first piece of the puzzle when it comes to moving the side more towards the style of football that he wants the side to play.
During his tenure at the club, Marsch has spoken on several occasions about the fact that his team hadn't been able to move closer towards his tactical style. Leeds manager suggested that was due to the high-stress situation of a relegation battle and with many of the players so used to playing in Marcelo Bielsa's unique style, having done so for several seasons.
