Martin Keown has warned Gareth Southgate and his Three Lions to show respect to Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson - claiming they should 'underestimate him at their peril'.
Aaronson joined Leeds from New York Red Bulls in the summer in what was a club-record deal, and the midfielder has thoroughly impressed at Elland Road with three goal contributions so far in the Premier League. Not only his talents on the ball are admirable; his work-rate off the ball and ability to drive up the field have seen Leeds take a different dynamic under fellow countryman Jesse Marsch's guidance.
With England drawing the USA in Group B at this year's World Cup, Aaronson is one player that will be known to many on home soil this year; more so Leeds fans, who have come to worship the starlet for his performances over the past few months. And Keown has warned England not to underestimate Aaronson or team-mate Tyler Adams ahead of Friday's clash.
