Jon Newsome, a Leeds United legend, has identified a White player whom he believes does not meet the standard required to play for Daniel Farke’s team at the moment.
Farke’s team claimed the top spot in the Championship standings on Sunday with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Swansea City.
The Whites manager prefers to maintain a consistent lineup, but made changes off the bench during the match in Wales, with substitute Willy Gnonto scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.
However, one player who played the full 90 minutes for Leeds was Brenden Aaronson.
Newsome feels that the American is not performing at the level expected of him and may not be ready to compete in the Premier League. His tendency to give away possession too easily has caught Newsome’s attention.
During a BBC Radio Leeds post-match commentary, Newsome commented: “There are too many instances where he loses possession unnecessarily. I don’t think he has the awareness or ability to play at the required level.”
Despite Newsome’s doubts about the 24-year-old, Farke has given him 15 appearances in the Championship this season, resulting in four goals.
Aaronson previously spent time on loan at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga last season.
