# Leeds United: Brenden Aaronson expected to complete summer move

**Leeds United will complete a move for RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson, but he will arrive this summer instead of in January, according to a recent report.**

### The Lowdown: Constant Aaronson links

The Whites have been linked with numerous players throughout the January transfer window but none more so than USA international Aaronson.

Leeds are reportedly considering a [third bid](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-considering-third-aaronson-bid/) for the 21-year-old after one was rejected and one was left up in the air.

The attacking midfielder has shone for RB Salzburg, [scoring 10 goals and registering 12 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brenden-aaronson/alletore/spieler/393323) in 51 appearances for the Austrian side.

A fresh update has now emerged on the matter, with time running out in this window.

### The Latest: Summer move on the cards?

According to [*TEAMtalk*](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/brenden-aaronson-transfer-going-through-victor-orta-gets-signing-big-catch-exclusive), Victor Orta ‘gets his man’ and Aaronson will end up being a Leeds player, but a move is likely to be completed this summer instead of in January.

Salzburg are reluctant to let the American leave this month, especially with a crucial Champions League last-16 clash with Bayern Munich on the horizon.

Aaronson is keen on the move to Leeds happening, however, and is willing to wait until the summer.

### The Verdict: January signing still needed

Signing Aaronson would be an undoubted plus for the Whites, given his age and the fact that he has already proved himself in the Champions League, [starting all six](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/371012/Show/Brenden-Aaronson) of Salzburg group stage games this season.

That being said, the need for a central midfielder to come in in January remains great, in order to make up for the current [absence](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kalvin-phillips/verletzungen/spieler/351749) of Kalvin Phillips.

While money may be tight at Elland Road currently, failure to sign anyone, even if it’s just for a short-term period, could feel negligent come May – Marcelo Bielsa is currently [without a single out-and-out attacking midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/startseite/verein/399) in his squad.
