Starting role Sunday Aaronson recorded one clearance in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Sunderland.

Impact Aaronson was finally handed a starting role again Sunday, this being his first start in five games as he played 65 minutes in the win. He would bag two chances created in his time on the field and remains without a goal contribution this season in his seven appearances (three starts).

Minimal role so far Aaronson has started in just two of Leeds' five EPL matches in the 2026/27 season.

Impact The USMNT international started in the Whites' first two matches but has come off the bench in the past three. Given the way Leeds were playing before the break, it wouldn't be surprising if he continued to have a secondary role once the league resumes Oct. 10 on the road against Arsenal.

Plays one half in draw Aaronson recorded one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Aaronson started the match but was replaced at halftime as manager Daniel Farke made two changes with Leeds trailing 1-0, registering one tackle won and one clearance across 45 minutes in which he struggled to impose himself against Brentford's dominant midfield possession. His removal was a tactical decision as Farke altered the system to give Leeds more attacking thrust in the second half. Aaronson has now started both of Leeds' Premier League fixtures and faces competition for his place as the coach continues to assess his options in the attack.

Impact Aaronson made his return to Premier League action after an exciting World Cup campaign with the USMNT. The attacker played in 37 of the 38 games in the Premier League last season. He put his only shot on target of the game, won his only tackle and drew two fouls during the game.

Signs new three-year contract Aaronson has signed a new three-year contract with Leeds United, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Aaronson is coming off an active 2025/26 season, and the new deal secures his place with Leeds for the longer term while providing roster stability for the forward heading into the club's upcoming competitions. After scoring four goals and providing five assists during his first 32 EPL games last season, he slowed down a bit towards the end of the campaign and featured only once for the USMNT at the World Cup. More positive signs have come in the recent pre-season run, where he has tallied two goals and two assists across four games, looking to earn a starting spot at the beginning of the new season.

Impact Aaronson delivered a characteristically industrious performance built on pressing, movement, and relentless effort. While he helped knit together several attacking sequences and nearly found a late equalizer, he couldn't provide the decisive attacking quality needed to change the result. Aaronson will likely resume his role as a substitute in Wednesday's Round of 32 bout with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Finds starting role Aaronson (dead leg) is in the starting XI for Sunday's season finale against West Ham United.

Impact Aaronson shook off the dead leg that had forced him off in the 60th minute of Sunday's win over Brighton, with manager Daniel Farke's reassuring update proving well-founded as the American forward is handed a starting role for the curtain closer. The midfielder has been one of Leeds' most productive players this season, contributing four goals, five assists and 33 key passes across 36 Premier League appearances including 29 starts, and his presence in the first eleven is a welcome boost for a side heading into a high-stakes finale. His clearance is equally significant on the international stage, with coach Mauricio Pochettino set to announce the USMNT squad for the home World Cup on May 26, and Aaronson's fitness now appearing to be in no serious doubt ahead of that announcement.

The timing could not be worse for the American forward, who is fighting for a place in manager Mauricio Pochettino's squad being named on May 26, with the USMNT set to begin training the following day in Fayetteville, Georgia. Aaronson was part of the 2022 World Cup roster and will be desperate to prove his fitness before the squad announcement, with the club set to assess the extent of the knee issue over the coming days before providing any further clarity on his timeline.
