Jesse Marsch set to seal ‘Dream’ Leeds United signing for Brenden Aaronson – report
Leeds United are now finally set to seal the signing of RB Salzburg playmaker Brenden Aaronson, according to Salzburger Nachrichten.
The Austrian outlet has reported on their website that Jesse Marsch will get his “absolute dream” signing once the deal has been announced, which appears to be imminent.
Leeds are set to pay up to £28million for the American international, with the deal mooted since failing to get it over the line back in the January transfer window.
It is shared that everything but the medical is rubber-stamped for this transfer.
Leeds have agreed a fee with RB Salzburg, with personal terms also said to be done and dusted with Aaronson who is set to get his Premier League dream after the Whites survived.
Aaronson and Marsch have already worked together in Austria so it will be a very smooth transition, and Victor Orta will be rubbing his hands together that his hard work is set to pay off after all these months.
Announce it.
Aaronson is one of the fittest players around looking at his stats, so is the medical really going to be an issue?
This deal was in the works as soon as the full-time whistle went at Brentford on Sunday, meaning that getting him across to England is the only hurdle needed to clear.
Orta, with the help of Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers, has had this one ready to go for months, and now it’s time to continue the party this week and get it announced.
Confirming Aaronson this early will leave us with the rest of the window to target key areas such as a new striker, and finally fixing the heart of midfield that has been neglected for years – including a new deal for Kalvin Phillips.
If Marsch thinks this is a dream, hopefully, he will get even more as the weeks go on this summer with many major transfers needed to progress with this squad.
