Leeds United latest: Charlie Cresswell development, Summerville update, Dutch-born winger eyed
|Leeds United are preparing for another season in the Championship after failing to win promotion, and it’s set to be a busy summer at Elland Road.
The Whites will have a battle on their hands to keep hold of some of their star players, and may be forced to sell to generate funds, with chairman Paraag Marathe stating that the club “need to make trade-offs” in the aftermath of their play-off final defeat.
The opening of the summer transfer window is just around the corner, and you feel as if there will be plenty of comings and goings at Elland Road in the months to follow.
With that in mind, here is all the latest Leeds United news…
Brenden Aaronson set to return
Brenden Aaronson is set to be part of Daniel Farke’s squad for the 2024/25 season when he returns from his loan spell at Union Berlin, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
The American international failed to make an impact during the 2022/23 season, which saw the Whites relegated from the Premier League, and subsequently exercised a loan release clause in his contract to move away from Elland Road.
However, Aaronson held talks with Farke which seemingly went well, and the 23-year-old is set to be part of the club’s promotion efforts next season.
The former Red Bull Salzburg man has a battle on his hands to win over the club’s fans who were less than impressed with his performances or by the way he left the club, but he could be a useful addition, particularly with the club being desperate for someone to fill the number 10 role.
