Leeds United are gearing up to face Tottenham at Elland Road this Saturday in a lunchtime showdown.
Following a solid start to their return to the Premier League, Leeds will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to three games against Thomas Frank’s squad. Last weekend, they narrowly missed out on three points against Bournemouth and are now set to take on a Tottenham side that is coming off a tense draw against Bodø/Glimt.
With backing in the transfer market from 49ers Enterprises, Leeds has made some promising new signings. However, it seems that a previous underperforming player may finally be coming into his own.
Brenden Aaronson, who has been the subject of exit rumors for a while, showed a glimpse of his potential against Bournemouth when played on the right side under Farke. Despite not getting an assist, he stood out on the pitch, leading the team in big chances created this season with three in the first six matches, as per Sofascore.
This turnaround in form is a stark contrast to Aaronson’s previous seasons where he struggled to make an impact. Leeds supporters have been eagerly waiting for him to showcase consistency, and this season he seems to be on the right track.
Although Aaronson has undeniable talent, his performances have not lived up to expectations since his arrival. While his recent form is a positive sign for Leeds fans, it might be a case of too little, too late.
Coming from a £24.7 million transfer from Red Bull Salzburg in 2022 and a loan season at Union Berlin, Aaronson has notched 10 goals in 87 games for Leeds. Farke now has various attacking options to consider, making it challenging for Aaronson to secure a regular spot in the lineup.
While fans are pleased with Aaronson’s recent displays, some may not be too disheartened if he leaves in January. With promising signs of improvement, Aaronson’s future at Leeds remains uncertain as he aims to make a more significant impact on the team.
