Golf equipment arising from the Championship have discovered it very troublesome to compete within the Premier League in current season, so Leeds will hope that they will handle to succeed the place the likes of Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich have failed. However so as to do that, they might want to vital strengthen.
And in response to one former participant, Leeds could be clever to signal a brand new attacking midfielder to exchange present starter Brendan Aaronson.
Mike Grella believes Brendan Aaronson isn’t PL high quality
Talking on CBS Sports activities (through LeedsUnited.Information) after Leeds’ promotion to the Premier League was confirmed, Mike Grella spoke on Aaronson, whom he doubts has the standard to compete as a starter within the first staff subsequent season.
“For me, I feel they’ve plenty of depth within the behind-the-striker place: in order that they’ve received Solomon, Ramazani, Gnonto, Aaronson, Daniel James, they usually’re virtually all the identical participant, and I feel Aaronson is form of, like, becoming in that no.10 place, however not actually a no.10. I feel he can slot in one of many exterior positions.
“In the event you’re going to play that manner, possibly somebody with a distinct skillset in that no.10 place that performs behind Piroe. A correct no.10 that may create numerical benefits that possibly he may add a little bit bit extra to goal-scoring. I do know Aaronson had an excellent season goal-scoring clever, however enjoying additionally in a staff that scores essentially the most objectives within the league, in order that’s the place I might look to strengthen.”
It stays to be seen whether or not Leeds take Grella’s recommendation. They have been linked to Edouard Spertsyan earlier in 2025, and he may very well be the person that takes over from Aaronson from subsequent season.
