Tyler Adams is not the only Leeds United player Newcastle United have their eye on this summer, with Brenden Aaronson another member of the squad who is admired by the Magpies.

That is according to a report from 90min, which notes that Newcastle could also look to make a bid for Jack Harrison after previously showing interest in the winger.

Brenden Aaronson is probably one player Leeds fans may not mind seeing move on this summer. Of course, departures are inevitable following the Whites’ relegation from the Premier League.

Aaronson’s arrival seemed to represent a big moment for Leeds. Moments after survival was secured last year it was being reported that he was heading for Elland Road. And he ultimately signed for around £25 million.

The early signs were that Leeds had landed a ‘special‘ talent. Aaronson should have been credited with the winner on the opening day against Wolves. And he tore Chelsea apart in what proved to be the high point of Jesse Marsch’s tenure.

Unfortunately, there were few positives after that. Aaronson would not score again this past season. And the ease with which he would be knocked off the ball by opponents really grew tiresome.

Nevertheless, there is interest. And it seems that he could be offered the chance to play in the Champions League next year.

90min reports that Newcastle are interested in Aaronson as they prepare for their return to European football’s top table.

Eddie Howe has transformed a number of players during his time on Tyneside. Few would have imagined that Miguel Almiron, Joelinton, Sean Longstaff and Jacob Murphy would play important roles in guiding a team into the top-four.

Aaronson clearly has a lot of talent and potential. And there were a few signs that he was trying harder to stay on his feet as the campaign continued.

But if Leeds receive a big offer that perhaps helps the club keep one or two others, then Aaronson is surely one player who should be sacrificed.
