Brenden Aaronson has named fellow American Christian Pulisic as the Premier League player he looks up to most. Leeds United shelled out £25million to sign the midfielder from RB Salzburg to kickstart their summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old became the seventh player from the United States to sign for Leeds - a trend that could continue following the arrival of Jesse Marsch as manager. Chelsea winger Pulisic is the standout American in the division right now, following the footsteps of Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Brad Friedel and DeAndre Yedlin.
New kid on the block Aaronson spoke highly of his “friend”, highlighting the work he has done to put his country on the map in England. Football - or soccer as it is better known across the pond - is growing rapidly Stateside and recently overtook ice hockey to become the country’s fourth most popular sport.
