Graeme Souness has raved about Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson in The Daily Mail, and believes that the USA international could be a big success in the Premier League.

The Liverpool legend has been impressed by how well Aaronson, ho can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has done for Leeds so far this season.

The 22-year-old moved to Leeds from RB Salzburg in the summer transfer window.

The American youngster has scored one goal and provided one assist in 12 Premier League matches for the West Yorkshire club so far this season.

In our view, Brenden Aaronson is one of the best young players in the Premier League and has been superb for Leeds United so far this season.

The youngster is a very creative player, and he also works hard and makes important runs.

The 22-year-old can still improve and get better in the coming years, and his passion for the game and his understanding of it is there for all to see.

In our view, for Leeds to be successful, Aaronson will have to be on top of his game throughout.
