Victor Orta has hailed Brenden Aaronson as "the perfect player fit for Leeds United" after the 21-year-old finalised his summer transfer switch from Salzburg. Signing a five-year-deal with the Whites, Aaronson's move is believed to have cost Leeds around £25m.
The midfielder has previously worked under Jesse Marsch at Salzburg, and was a target Leeds tried to sign up in January. Aaronson is Leeds' first post-Marcelo Bielsa signing, and can operate on either flank or in behind a centre forward.
In his 65 appearances for Salzburg, the American international scored 13 times, which included goals in the Champions League this season against Bröndby. He also played almost every single minute of Salzburg's European campaign, which saw them beaten by German giants Bayern Munich in the last 16.
