From Brendan Aaronson to Tyrell Malacia we profile half a dozen new arrivals to the division
In an ideal world, Aaronson would have arrived at Elland Road in January, but Leeds had two offers rejected for the attacking midfielder. Jesse Marsch was keen for Leeds to revisit the deal, having seen his compatriot progress in Major League Soccer and having coached him at Red Bull Salzburg. Aaronson made the decision to go from the MLS to Salzburg despite more lucrative offers from elsewhere because he thought it would be the ideal way to progress his career. Aaronson’s creativity and versatility will be a useful asset to a team that has lost Raphinha to Barcelona. Leeds were very reliant on the Brazilian to create chances out of nothing but with Aaronson and Luis Sinisterra joining the club, they should have more ways to open up opponents. The 21-year-old is clever off the ball and can spot a gap in the defence in order to find valuable space in dangerous positions. WU
