BRENDEN AARONSON: IT WAS A GOOD TEST FOR US - Leedsunited.com 17/7/22

-


After playing just over an hour and getting more important minutes in the bank during pre-season, Brenden Aaronson chatted to LUTV follow his latest appearance against Aston Villa.

The Whites lost the match after a second half penalty against their fellow Premier League side, with USA international saying he felt it was a good test for him and his teammates.

Speaking after the game, Aaronson told LUTV: “It was good, you know.

“It was what we needed as a group, a tough game like this. Coming out here and having the fans we had today was really special.

“It was a good test for us, and now it is onto the next game against Crystal Palace.

“Every game that goes by, we’re having more and more understanding of each other. A bunch of the guys are new that were out on the field today.

“We’re building chemistry, connections, and that’s what we need going into the season. I think there were a lot of great plays put together but then it’s just the finishing touch, that will come.”

The squad have also been working hard away from the pitch and recently held some team bonding activities, which is important ahead of a long campaign to come.

Aaronson said: “As everyone saw, we were surfing one day!

“We’re having a good time and getting closer as a group, I already feel like I have been part of it for a year now.

“It’s a crazy feeling to have that as a new player, they’ve been so inviting and so nice to me so it’s great for all of us.

“I was not the best [at surfing], but I could at least get out there, I caught a few!”

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
