Brenden Aaronson has revealed his desire to play for a "historic club" played a pivotal role in helping him choose to sign for Leeds United. The American international became Leeds' first summer signing last week after he joined the Whites on a five-year-deal from Red Bull Salzburg.
The £25m deal will see Aaronson link up with his former boss Jesse Marsch, who managed the midfielder during his time as Salzburg manager. While the relationship between the two played a role in Leeds' decision to sign Aaronson, the Whites did try and sign the 21-year-old in January prior to Marsch's arrival at Elland Road, meaning he has been a long term target for director of football Victor Orta.
