They went through hell and back at Elland Road in the finish of their Premier League campaign. Leeds welcomed the 38th round as the first team below the relegation line, they were practically one step away from returning to the Championship, but in the last 90 minutes they managed to beat Brentford and send Burnley to the lower rank. The worst is over, the Peacocks survived, and due to the stress they endured for almost the entire season in West Yorkshire, they decided to treat themselves with an expensive reinforcement. More precisely – the most expensive in the history of the club.25.11. Fri 21:00: (1.60) England (3.80) USA (6.00)According to the information of the American journalist Tom Bogert, whose writing is confirmed by the reliable Fabrizio Romano, Leeds should soon complete the purchase of Brenden Aaronson. The American midfielder comes from Salzburg and his transfer will amount to 33 million euros, which would be a record purchase for the Peacocks. The current record is held by Rodrygo, for whom Leeds paid Valencia around 30 million two years ago. Allegedly, Aaronson has already arrived in England and will undergo medical checks by the end of the week, before joining the American national team for friendly matches against Morocco and Uruguay in early June.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Leeds wanted Aaronson last winter already, they allegedly sent two offers to the Austrian champion, but the club owned by Red Bull refused them both, because they wanted the 21-year-old American to be available for the knockout matches of the Champions League against Bayern and tried to surprise the Bavarians. Salzburg then informed the executives of Leeds that they would be open for negotiations only in the summer, and the decision to keep Aaronson turned out to be correct since the American assisted with both goals in the clash with the Munich giant. However, it did not mean much for the Austrian champion to avoid the debacle at the Allianz Arena (7-1).🇺🇸 Brenden Aaronson (21) 🇺🇸Austrian League:46 Matches9 Goals9 AssistsChampions League:10 Games2 Goals2 Assists7.17 Average RatingFor USA:18 Games5 Goals3 Assists🖊 Welcome to Leeds 🖊#LUFC pic.twitter.com/n37lJt8qtf— Jack MV¹ (@LufcJack33) May 25, 2022 Jesse Marsh, the manager of Leeds, who coached Aaronson two years ago in Salzburg – of all the people from Elland Road – is the best acquainted with Aronson’s qualities. Brenden usually plays as an offensive midfielder, and this season he scored four and set up ten goals in 41 games in all competitions. Leeds will definitely benefit from this playmaker because there is no such player in the team at the moment.
