Leeds toast top-flight survival by securing deal for USA star Brenden Aaronson as manager Jesse Marsch kicks off his Elland Road shake-up

Leeds United will secure the signing of Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson after sealing their Premier League status.

The £25million transfer of the USA international was negotiated at the end of the January window but was contingent on Leeds remaining in the top flight.

Sunday's dramatic 2-1 victory over Brentford triggered the deal and now Aaronson, one of the most highly rated attacking midfielders playing in Europe, will move to Elland Road.
