A report from Football Insider has claimed that Leeds United are hoping to keep Brenden Aaronson at Elland Road for the long-term, and they are eager to agree on a new contract with him.
The playmaker will head to the World Cup with his country in the summer, and Leeds United are hoping to sort out his future before that. If he manages to impress in the World Cup with the United States, there is likely to be increased interest in securing his signature. Leeds do not want to lose him, and it remains to be seen whether they can iron out an agreement with the player.
Pete O’Rourke explained: “If he goes to the World Cup and has a good tournament, I’m sure there’ll be a number of clubs who will be keeping tabs on the attacker as well.
“For Leeds right now, they just want Aaronson to perform to the highest level possible to try and secure Premier League survival.”
The midfielder was inconsistent at the start of the season but has recaptured his form and has impressed in recent weeks. It is no surprise that the club is hoping to keep the resurgent midfielder beyond this season. There is likely to be interest in the player, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The opportunity to continue with the Premier League club will be exciting for Aaronson as well. He is at the peak of his career, and he will want to continue competing at the highest level. Leeds have a good chance of survival in the Premier League this season, and they will look to establish themselves as regulars in the top flight.
Signing quality players in the summer will help them maintain their place in the Premier League, but they also need to keep their best players. They need more creativity from the midfield, and Aaronson has been an important option for them. The United States International can operate in the attacking midfield role as well as right-sided winger. His versatility makes him an asset for the club.
