- Aaronson enjoying great form at Leeds
- Been recognized by supporter chant
- USMNT head into two final pre-World Cup friendlies
WHAT HAPPENED? Aaronson joined Leeds this summer from RB Salzburg and has been an immediate hit, having helped lead his side to a win over Chelsea after pouncing on a mistake from Edouard Mendy. He has since been recognized with a song to the tune of Estelle's American Boy.
WHAT THEY SAID: "They see how much I work and how much I'm willing to work for the team," Aaronson said when asked about the fan reception. "I'll always give 110 percent and I think that they like that. That's the kind of team we have. So that's also amazing to see.
"I'm really grateful to be at Leeds and I think that everybody can see that I'm willing to work 110 percent and give everything I can to help the team win. I just want to keep getting better and better and become the best I can be and, hopefully, be a legend for the club at some point."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Aaronson's hot start at Leeds has been good news for the U.S. men's national team, with the former Philadelphia Union star in the squad for upcoming friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia in what are the final two international matches before the World Cup.
